Here are some interesting ties for Pennsylvania to our national aviation heritage. They did a podcast episode for every state including here PA. America 250: Air and Space Power Story — Ep. 2 https://www.podbean.com/ep/pb-24e97-19ffab0 I can't help but be a little disappointed that they didn't focus on the Piper and Lycoming history in Lockhaven.

We had a very successful Young Eagles event at Sentimental Journey Fly-In flying 63 young people giving them a good introduction to General Aviation. Thanks to a great turnout of pilots we were able to fly everyone who was interested. Thanks to our pilots John Ricciotti visiting from NH (who brought a rare Meyers MAC-145), David Dix, David Schulte, Bob Grove, Randy Kilmer, Richard Rain, Mike Jones, ground controllers John Zimmerman and Karl Mierzejewski, fantastic support from the Civil Air Patrol, and Ed Watson and the Piper Aviation Museum as well as many others we had a great event!

EAA 1327 hosts our annual Young Eagles rally during the Sentimental Journey Fly-In The Fly-In itself now only a month away is a great family aviation event! Fly-In, Drive-In and maybe we will see you at the Pig Roast there Saturday. night.

Sentimental Journey Fly-In began in 1986, when a small group of dedicated volunteers set out to bring something special back to Lock Haven—the airplanes built by Piper, returning to the runway where so many of them first flew.

Nearly all of the iconic tube-and-fabric Piper aircraft lifted off from this very field. Today, nearly four decades later, that same spirit lives on.
Now in our 40th year, Sentimental Journey welcomes all makes and models, with a special nod to taildraggers. Whether you arrive in a classic Cub or something entirely different, you’ll find a warm welcome—and a long grass runway waiting.

Sentimental Journey, Inc. is a Pennsylvania 501(c)(3) nonprofit, supported by volunteers and members who care deeply about preserving aviation history while keeping it accessible for future generations.
