Come see the planes!!

Post by Repeat »

I found out something really cool today, when I was checking out the website for my college... I'm going to Worcester Polytechnic Institute in Worcester, MA, better known as WPI. Goddard went there for a while, but he got kicked out, I believe due to blowing up too many buildings... (though they later gave him an honorary degree...). Anyway, what I found out that I thought was really cool is that for homecoming, since this is the 100th anniversary of powered flight, WPI is starting off the events with a "fly in" at Worcester Airport... Meaning, I presume, that there will be SOME plane flying into Worcester Airport... Hopefully, it will be cool...
That is all...

I dont know if you know this, but a fly-in is a lot more than just one plane flying in. A fly-in is pandemonium, anyone with a plane with any affiliation with the institution is supposed to fly in and could be really crowded. also the airspace itself around the airport will be really hard to fly through, but they are cool events.
