What is a Fly-In?
A fly-in provides an opportunity for pilots and aviation enthusiasts to
congregate. Builders and restorers can display and compare their flying
projects and exchange ideas with other builders. With good weather,
attendance is normally around 2500 people who can expect to see about 200
aircraft (with about 50 being experimental or classic aircraft) over the
course of the weekend.
Parking
All parking is FREE. Cars park on the grass outside the gate. Homebuilt,
Warplanes, and Classics crowd the tarmac area. Antiques and post 1960 factory

Volunteers will be needed to help with safety, aircraft parking,and a
thousand other small tasks. To get in on the fun and become an active
volunteer, contact the fly-in manager, Ms. Tangy Mooney or Mr.Rich Largent
