Cynthia Kercher submitted this photo and note: “Bristell N24CE made a practice flight to Cheat River Island Airport (56WV) in Rowlesburg, West Virginia, from Deck Airport (9D4) in Myerstown, Pennsylvania, in preparation for the upcoming Cheat River Fall Fly-In 2025 on Oct. 11. Very nice grass runway with a fascinating approach. A great little airport in the beautiful mountains of West Virginia.”

Brad Koehn submitted this photo and note: “I snapped a photo of some of the planes attending the fly-in at Prickett-Grooms Field Airport (6Y9) in Sidnaw, Michigan, on Labor Day weekend 2025. The ground fog was coming up and the frost hadn’t yet formed, and everyone had a wonderful time.”

A community celebration of aviation
Watsonville Municipal Airport (KWVI) in California has a rich aviation history that has evolved over several decades. Having last visited in 2013, I was curious to see the current incarnation of the airport’s annual fly-in, renamed Fire in the Sky: Watsonville Airport Open House.
