Lincoln Airport Open House & Barbecue slated for July 24

For the last 18 years, Lincoln resident and pilot Jerry Cain has hosted an annual fly-in barbecue / potluck at his Lincoln Airport hangar for Montana and out-of-state pilots to enjoy.

For the last five years (2020 canceled due to COVID) and continuing this year under the sponsorship of the newly formed public charity Lincoln Airport Foundation, there will be a Community Airport Open House and Fly-in BBQ Potluck to which the public is invited at no charge, to become familiar with Lincoln Airport and its value to the Lincoln community.

The airport will be open to the public Saturday July 24 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. During that period, Experimental Aircraft Association Young Eagle Flights will be offered free to youth between the ages of eight and 17. Jerry will host his Fly-in BBQ Potluck from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Lincoln community emergency service organizations and other service providers have been invited to display their equipment and interact with the public. Other aviation related organizations that utilize Lincoln Airport are also invited.

Local hangar owners will have their hangars open and airplanes on display, as well as those that fly in for the event.

So come on out to the Lincoln Airport to see all the airplanes and equipment on display, interact with your community service organizations, enjoy the barbecue, and bring a food dish to share with your community members and visitors.

Lincoln Airport is a state-owned airport managed and maintained by the Montana Aeronautics Division of the Montana Transportation Department.
