The Iowa Aviation Museum is holding its 30th annual Wings Fly-In/Drive-In and Hall of Fame induction tomorrow (Saturday) in Greenfield. The museum’s Kris Schildberg (SHILD-berg) says this year’s Hall of Fame inductee is Jim Zangger, who’s been involved in aviation for decades in northwest Iowa, as his family ran an airport in Larchwood.

The day’s events kick off with a pancake breakfast at 7:30 A-M. Everyone who attends the breakfast and induction ceremony also receives admission to the Iowa Aviation Museum for the day. Schildberg says the museum’s staff has been hard at work keeping the exhibits pristine.

Tickets for the event are $10 for adults and $5 for school age children. Pilots in command and children younger than preschool are free.  http://flyingmuseum.com/
