FRYEBURG, Maine — Ready for a 50-center of a day for flying and seeing planes at the Eastern Slope Aviation Academy’s fourth annual Aviation Day from 9:30 a.m.-2:30 p.m. at the Eastern Slope Regional Airport today?
On tap are a display of antique planes; half-hour discovery plane rides at a donation of $50 for a half-hour trip; a chance to use the Redbird D2 flight simulator; Eastern Slope Aviation Academy merch for sale; a 50/50 raffle offering great prizes, including a Vachon Ranger airplane ride; a silent auction; and live music, according to Aviation Academy President Ed Bergeron.
