On Saturday, May 18 the Fairfield County Airport will commemorate 50 years of service to the community and honor the region’s veterans with a celebration that will include military and vintage aircraft, airplane rides, helicopter rides, food trucks, and more.

One particularly special moment will focus on retired Air Force veteran Patsy DeSilva, a current resident at Sycamore Creek Senior Living, who will be in the air in an aircraft not unlike the one she flew while in the Air Force. WOUB spoke to Laura Arnold and Julie Ann of Sycamore Creek about the upcoming event.
