Recently Completed Event: Benton: Fly In – Pig Out
This wonderful event is held every year on the 3rd Saturday
in October. This year approximately 105 aircraft landed,
and over 800 meals were served! The whole community
comes together to support this annual event hosted by
Benton Airport. It’s truly a fly in, drive in not to miss! After
viewing Chris Houston’s photographic logbook of the
event, it was evident that he captured this day much better
than I could have ever imagined. Chris has graciously given
us permission to include his link in our newsletter. Enjoy!
