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 airplanes built by Piper. Almost all of the famous “tube and fabric” Pipers made their first flight from this very runway. Now in our 39th year, we are hoping to draw all makes and models of airplanes, especially taildraggers to our Flyin. All pilots will find a welcoming home on our long grass runway.
But while we love Pipers, today Sentimental Journey welcomes all flyers and their flivvers. Parked on our field during the fly-in you'll find Aeroncas, Bellancas, Cessnas, Cubcrafters, Luscombes, Pitts, Stearmans, Stinsons, Swifts, Taylorcraft, Wacos, and Vans, and just about anything else with wings. Everybody and every plane is welcome!
Big News for 2025: Sentimental Journey welcomes the Short Wing Piper Club Annual Convention, which will run simultaneously with the 2025 Fly-In.
If you enjoy general aviation, then you should become a member of Sentimental Journey today! All members receive a membership card, discounted prices on daily and full event passes, as well as, at the semi-annual pancake breakfasts at the airport in Lock Haven.
