Veterans to take Dream Flights June 22
The Fernley Reporter

Ageless Aviation Dreams will be taking to the air next Wednesday, June 22 out of Tiger Field in Fernley.

Darryl Fisher founded Ageless Aviation Dream Flights in 2011. The Foundation uses three 1940's Boeing Stearman airplanes to give Dream Flights, primarily to seniors and military veterans, living in senior housing communities, at no charge.

The airplanes are staged in different locations to allow AADF the opportunity to honor seniors and veterans around the United States. Since 2011, AADF have had the privilege of providing more than 1,000 Dream Flights in 31 states.

Join them for a free pancake breakfast, great conversation and a chance to honor a veteran by watching them take flight.

Breakfast will begin at 7:30 a.m. Opening ceremonies start at 8 a.m. with the U.S. Naval Sea Cadet Corps and Northern Nevada Veterans Coalition. The first flight will take off at 8:30 a.m.

For a large municipal facility like the indoor-outdoor Fernley Swimming Pool located at 300 Cottonwood Lane, a complete ground-up commercial build or major structural renovation typically spans 6 to 12 months or longer when factoring in large-scale engineering, public municipal permitting, specialized commercial HVAC/roofing, and health department inspections. The current renovation has been- The Fernley Swimming Pool has been closed for approximately six to seven months since late February 2026 for a major roof replacement and facility renovation. Now you sat October. Soooo 8 months for a new roof. The picture shows no other renovations.

It smells like sewage and it can be bad enough that people don’t want to be outside or open their windows. It would be helpful to get an investigative journalist help the Fernley residents get a clear answer from the City, NDEP, and any involved facilities. I was really disappointed that the smell was not disclosed by my realtor when I moved here. I enjoy Fernley and am seeing the improvements that are being made.
