Community "take off" at Gogebic Iron County Airport this weekend

IRONWOOD TOWNSHIP - Despite the rainy conditions, children and adult air travel enthusiasts came to Gogebic Iron County Airport for Airport Day on Saturday.

Throughout the day, children between 8-17 years old, had the chance to become a Experimental Aircraft Association "Young Eagle" and ride an actual pilot over Copper peak and beyond.

For the littler ones and adults, they could pay $20 and experience the upper peninsula=a from ta bird's-eye-view.

In addition to air plane rides, air travel fans could also ride in a helicopter.

If people got hungry, pancakes and sausage was available courtesy of 4-H.
