Westheimer OUN Open House

Max Westheimer OUN Open House 1700 Lexington Ave, Norman, OK 73069 Something to do this weekend

Come one, come all to the 17th Annual Aviation Festival happening Saturday, October 23rd, from 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. They will have General Aviation Airplanes, Jets, Fighter Jets, Military helicopters, News Helicopters, NOAA Radar Trucks, SCARS, Norman Emergency Response Team, Norman SWAT, and Norman Fire. The Sooner Flight Academy will have activities for the kids. Amazing food from Wicked Hangry and Chick-fil-A will be on site.

SCARS will be demonstrating again this year, and we will be located on the tarmac, northeast of the terminal and south of the static displays. David Grizzle KD5ZLG will have his 26? trailer, generator, and air conditioners to provide first aid, rain cover, and cooling for the event. We will use that trailer and some pop-up tents.

There is PLENTY of parking on the airport ramp. Make sure you follow the signs to enter the facility correctly. DO NOT park on the grass. You will get a ticket...

We have a dozen folks already signed up to display and would love more people to attend. Bring something to display or look at what's coming. We have had a great response to this effort, and the following ideas have been discussed:

SCARS/ARRL Brochures
Siren Reporter Documents
