Summer Fly-In and Flour Drop
Kubick Aviation is producing exciting aviation action!
Pilots from across the region will fly in for the fun, with a Flour Drop and STOL (Short Takeoff and Landing) competitions as thrilling highlights for the community to enjoy.
In the Flour Drop, pilots make a low-altitude pass and release a bag of flour, aiming for a target near the runway. The STOL competition challenges pilots to see who can take off in the shortest distance and land in the shortest rollout from touchdown to a full stop.
This will be a family-friendly event, so bring the whole group chat and family crew — save the date for Saturday, June 13, 2026!
