Airport fun for the whole family!

What’s a “Fly In”?  Similar to a car  show, these aircraft fly in to be judged, while spectators get to see a gathering of amateur built, antique and other unique aircraft — and meet their pilots, builders, and restorers! Expected highlights include the Chile Flight (formation flying team), helicopters, gliders, ultralights, and remote controlled aircraft.

What’s there to do?

• Come early to see aircraft as they arrive and catch the 8am Opening Ceremony and flag raising
• Browse the Exhibit Hall with aviation businesses, educational institutions, and nonprofit organizations.  Learn about careers, technology, fun!
• Enjoy EAA 179’s pancake breakfast and/or burger lunch for a small donation
• Try riveting at the Builders’ Corner! Talk to builders!
• Engage the kids in the Youth Aviators Center
• Attend an aviation safety seminar
• Shop at EAA 179′s Fly Mart and buy used aviation treasures
• Stroll the ramp of aircraft, military vehicles, and cars.  The Drifters Car Club joins us this year

What to bring?    A refillable drinking water container, sun protection, comfortable shoes, and your camera!

Admission and parking FREE, donations accepted. Any proceeds go towards activities supporting EAA Chapter 179’s mission including aviation scholarships, Double Eagle Aviation Adventure (summer camp), Young Eagles events, and youth outreach activities.  Questions?
