This red Arrow Sport, one of only one of six known to still be in existence, was built by the Arrow Aircraft Company, of Havelock, Nebraska and now hangs in the terminal at Lincoln Airport (LNK) in Nebraska.

If you stop by the airport’s customer service desk, they will give you a free red foam glider plane in honor of the Arrow Sport.

The red Arrow Sport plane hanging in our terminal has become an iconic symbol at #LNK and one many love taking photos under. Next time you #FlyLNK stop by our Customer Service desk and nab yourself one of our new, red foam glider planes. #FlyLocal #RedPlane pic.twitter.com/svf5y1QJP7

On Thursday, October 14, and Friday, October 15, LNK will be featuring the movie Hocus Pocus at its outdoor movie event. There will also be a Halloween costume contest.

Halloween is coming up soon and airports are getting ready to celebrate – whether we’re in the terminals or not.

We’ll keep adding to this list, so please send us any airport Halloween decorations you spot.

“Red Skeleton” returns to the Wichita Airport

Wichita Dwight D. Eisenhower Airport (ICT) in Kansas will be keeping us updated on the whereabouts of their friend, Red Skeleton, until the end of the month.

Bone-jour! Remember our friend Red Skeleton? He has risen from the dead and is excited to explore and meet new people at ICT. Follow along to see where Red is each day until Halloween. 💀#RedSkeletonICT #AirportTwitter pic.twitter.com/QtJ5Fnno8t

Last year Red really got around. He even had TSA Precheck status.

Hocus Pocus was a hit. Next?

In Nebraska, Lincoln Airport (LNK) has been having so much fun hosting drive-in movie nights – last week it was ‘Hocus Pocus’ – that they’re looking for ideas on what movie to show next.

ET, maybe?

A few months ago we featured The Sandlot for LNK friends and family and this past week Hocus Pocus was a 2-night hit. Comment below your favorite movie for our next drive in outdoor event. #FlyLNK #Community #MovieNight pic.twitter.com/F6uX0WGmx5

As in past years, we expect some (many?) airports will share photos of their therapy dog teams in their Halloween costumes.

We can’t wait.

Souvenir Sunday at Lincoln Airport

Arrow Sport on display at Lincoln Airport

Greetings from Nebraska’s Lincoln Airport, where this Arrow Sport – one of only six known to be in existence – hangs from the baggage claim ceiling.

The bag claim area of this small airport is also where I found this tractor from the collection of the Larsen Tractor Test & Power Museum on the University of Nebraska campus.

There’s only one shop at Lincoln Airport, but I was delighted to find plenty of these corny souvenirs on the shelves:

Do you shop for souvenirs when you’re stuck at the airport? If you spot something that’s inexpensive, locally-themed and a bit offbeat, please snap a photo and send it along to us here at StuckatTheAirport.com.

If your souvenir is featured on Souvenir Sunday, you’ll receive a fun travel souvenir.
