This Weekend in Logan County
Buzz to Sterling this weekend for the inaugural Curt “Doc” Kimball Memorial Fly-in at the Sterling Municipal Airport (STK) on Saturday, May 21. It will be a fun-filled day of aviation activities; free and open to the public.
The day begins at 7 am, with a Boy Scout Fundraiser serving a pancake breakfast until 9:30 am. There will be aerobatic demonstrations, an airplane "rodeo," radio-controlled aircraft demonstrations by the Sterling Miniature Aircraft Association, static displays, and food vendors. Airplane rides will be available for $20 per person (weather permitting).
A beloved Sterling surgeon, the late Dr. Kimball loved flying and old warplanes. He generously gave Stearman and T-28 rides for local charities, performed acrobatics, and did flyovers for local patriotic functions. He gave Star Trek’s William Shatner a ride once, and would gladly fly over friends' farms and “buzz” their families. One of his greatest accomplishments was creating the St. Francis Fly-In which was held every year in June, for many years. His family teased him that he lived by the quote, “I’m not perfect, but I’m a pilot, and that’s almost the same thing.”
