Thursday through Saturday, the Hayward Air Rally in California will celebrate its 51st anniversary with a one-day rally to Bend, Oregon. The 500-mile, two-leg cross-country will test pilots of all types of aircraft not in speed, but navigational skills, fuel and time management. Not far off in Salem, Oregon, on Saturday, the B-17 Alliance Museum will host the annual Warbirds Over the West Fly-In and Car Show at the historic McNary Field. Enjoy military history face-to-face with World War II veterans as well as various military aircraft and vehicles, a pancake breakfast and barbecue lunch.
