HOOD RIVER — The Western Antique Aeroplane & Automobile Museum (WAAAM) will host the 2026 Hood River Fly-In at the Hood River Airport on Saturday and Sunday, Sept. 12-13. Everyone is invited to come and enjoy the hundreds of airplanes that are expected to arrive from across the country for this event.

Admission to the Fly-In includes entrance to the museum, many activities, and access to the event grounds where visitors are able to roam among the visiting airplanes and talk with the pilots. There will be food both days from local restaurants, with the Hood River Eye Openers Lions Club serving a pancake breakfast both mornings.
