Since 1986, America's Family-Friendly Fly-In!

June 17 - 21, 2025

The Gates Are Open! S-J 2025 Finally Is Here!

The weather this past week has been problematic, with off-and-on showers and low ceilings. But Thursday and Friday were FABULOUS, beautiful flying weather, with sunshine, blue skies, gentle winds, and a flurry of new arrivals. Today (Saturday) should be even brighter and better.

Today is Community Day, so everybody in Clinton County is welcome, and admission is FREE. Come on down and join the fun, and feel the excitement.

We've got spot-landing contests, poker runs, a car show, a STOL demonstration, bounce houses, educational forums, food trucks, and the amazing Piper Museum.. ALSO -- we're offering free "Young Eagle" airplane rides for kids aged 8-17.

Rain Or Shine, Sentimental Journey Always Is Affordable, Family-Friendly Fun!

Welcome to Sentimental Journey

 

Now into our 39th year, this year’s fly-in will be bigger and better than ever. Sentimental Journey Fly-in began in 1986 with a group of dedicated volunteers working to provide a sentimental return to Lock Haven, the city where Piper built airplanes for fifty years. Now in our 39th year, a reinvigorated fly-in will attract all makes and models of airplanes, but especially taildraggers. Every pilot will find a welcoming home on our long grass runway. 


Big News for 2025: The Short Wing Piper Cub Annual Convention will run simultaneously with the 2025 Sentimental Journey Fly-in. We're expecting 30-40 of these adorable airplanes to be on site. But make no mistake — while we love Pipers, Sentimental Journey welcomes all flyers and their flivvers, including Aeroncas, Beechcraft, Bellancas, Cessnas, Cirrus, Citabrias, Cubcrafters, Decathlons, Diamonds, Luscombes, Mooneys, Pitts, Stearmans, Stinsons, Swifts, Taylorcraft, Wacos, Vans, and just about anything else with wings. Everybody and every plane is welcome!


By the way... If you enjoy general aviation, then you should become a member of Sentimental Journey. All members receive a membership card, discounted prices on entrance fees to the fly-in as well as discounts at at the semi-annual pancake breakfasts at the airport in Lock Haven.
