Many of the pilots will arrive on Friday and others on Saturday, which is the busy day for the public at the airport.Marvin Hornbostel, Junction City, has been affiliated with fly-in's at Freeman Field for many years. "People love to see airplanes land and take off. Even if you've been around a long time you still get that feeling."Gates open to the public at 7 a.m. Saturday with admission and parking $5 per carload. There will be a pancake and sausage breakfast from 7 - 10 a.m. and then lunch will also be served at the airport, hosted by the Experimental Aircraft Association Chapter 1364, according to Hornbostel."Normally you expect to see a lot of the home-built's, experimental category airplanes, and there are some beautiful ones." There could also be some older antique planes. 'The Cubs, ( Piper ) Tri-Pacer and I wouldn't be a bit surprised if you don't see a few of the old biplanes too."Friday night will be movie night at the airport, which will be open to the pilots and public at dusk. The expo is making a return to Junction City after a COVID-19 induced absence last year.
