Will Rogers Fly-In

The annual Will Rogers & Wiley Post Fly-In starts at 7 a.m., Aug. 13 at the Will Rogers Birthplace Ranch.

Planes will begin landing at 7 a.m. on a 2,000-foot grass airstrip next to the ranch located at 9501 E. 380 Road in Oologah. Admission is free, and there is plenty of parking.

The annual event celebrates aviation and marks the anniversary of Will and Wiley’s Aug. 15, 1935, deaths in Alaska due to a plane crash. A moment of remembrance will be observed at 10 a.m. honoring those who have died in small plane crashes and lapel pins will be presented especially designed in tribute to crash victims.

Several members of the Rogers family will be on hand for the event.
