Whether you fly or not, Aviation Day has become a premier local community event for the Cambridge, Greenwich, Salem and Bennington area. Chapin Field will be crowded all day with lots of families and aviation enthusiasts enjoying the food, looking at the planes, learning about aviation, and enjoying watching planes fly in and out. And, who knows, you might be able to take a short flight with a CVFC member in their plane. It’s an experience you will never forget! Come early on Saturday, starting at 9am to reserve your ride. There is no better way to view our fantastic fall colors than at Aviation Day!
Admission is free. Proceeds from the donations for plane rides will go to the CVFC Chapin Memorial Scholarship Fund which CVFC awards to a deserving Cambridge Central School graduating senior.
