Lompoc's Cub fly-in event will welcome antique aircraft to the tarmac this year, resulting in a new event moniker — the West Coast Cub and Antique Fly-in .
The inaugural event, dovetailing off 40 years of Cubby fly-in, will take place Friday through Sunday, Aug. 15-17, at the Lompoc Airport, where dozens of vintage biplanes and canary yellow Piper Cub aircraft will fly in and be on display to the public.
Aircraft will fly in to Lompoc on Friday, Aug. 15, in anticipation of Saturday's big event where planes will be on display and spectators can watch flight proficiency games and contests carried out by experienced pilots.
The event is sponsored by the local EAA Chapter 275, Explore Lompoc, the City of Lompoc and the Lompoc Airport.
