20th Chili Fiesta Fly-in on Saturday May 11th, 2024
Fly in or Drive in, we welcome you to share your favorite chili recipe or covered dish (optional, not mandatory). This annual event attracts local town folk and, if weather permits, a large contingent of interesting flying machines. Festivities begin around 10 AM and go until 2 PM. Renew old friendships and discover what everybody’s been working on all winter. General Public Invited! No Admission or Parking charge. The Airport, Air Museum & hangars are open. Massey is family friendly and handicap accessible (on grass). Antique and Show cars are invited for non-judged display (If you have a motorcycle, vintage car or hot rod, come early, park up front around the DC-3 for everyone to see & admire). We got rained out last year in May and December so we are overdue for good weather although sunny skies for the Antique Fly-in last June attracted 105 guest planes – let’s see if we can better that!
Pilots: As always, keep an eye out for no-radio aircraft. Winds permitting, Runway 02 is the preferred arrival approach on event days, if not, the west side Back Taxi lane allows passage off-the-runway. Check for VIP TFRs. We do have a Cut-Out from the south if there is a TFR. No Rain Date.
