EAA Chapter 51 - Cape Cod

Seventeen Young Eagles took to the air at Katama on Marthas Vineyard on Sunday.

Our August meeting was a tour of the Hangar/Workshops at Falmouth Airpark, where members visited project builds in progress. Everybody had a great time in spite of the heavy rain!

Did you know…?
Cape Cod used to have a drive-in/FLY-IN movie theater?

The Dennis Drive-In was the first on Cape Cod and was rather unique as it was a drive-in/fly-in theater. Planes would land on the back grassy area of the field and line up behind the cars. (clipping from The Independent Film Journal “Drive-In” Issue 1950)

If you’re visiting the annual Chatham Municipal Airport Open House tomorrow look for our table and swing by to say hello! EAA Chapter 51 members will be there promoting our Cape-wide chapter and talking about our upcoming Young Eagles events!
