NORMAN — The Max Westheimer Airport, 1700 Lexington Ave., has scheduled its second annual aviation festival for next weekend.

The festival is free and open to everyone. Scheduled times are noon to 4 p.m. Friday and 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sept. 20.
"It's something the family can do that's a lot of fun,” said Ken Carson, University of Oklahoma Department of Aviation director. "Come see the airplanes; smaller airports have a role in aviation, and it has a history.”
