Shelter Island’s fabulous flying machines
The Shelter Island Pilots Association celebrated the Island’s long aviation history with a Fly-In at Klenawicus Airfield on Saturday, Oct. 18. Some 30 planes converged on the site, a week after the nor’easter caused a postponement, with high winds that made it risky for vintage aircraft to take part.
With a barbecue by chef Jaime Cogan, the event welcomed close to 200 guests and aviators who shared stories as well as a chance to view the aircrafts up close.
