Arrival & Parking

In an effort to accommodate the ever growing number of aircraft flying in, the fly-in will again use a higher density, overlapping tail to tail parking system for this year’s fly-in. Once again the ground crew will be reserving the southeast corner of the main parking area for antique, vintage and classic aircraft. Other aircraft are kindly asked to park either on the south side of the runway (which at the east end as equally great viewing for airplanes landing and taking off), as well as the parking available west of the main museum hangar.

Arriving pilots should monitor and communicate on 122.9 as they approach the airport. Upon landing, pilots will be directed to the best available parking where they will be met by ground personnel who will help them with the parking and hand out registration cards (registration is free). Any pilot wishing to hold a nearby parking space for an incoming pilot can just let the ground personnel know after parking.

Accommodation & Food

Camping is available at the airport next to your airplane. The pilot’s lounge is open for public use and includes shower, restroom and kitchen facilities.

There are several local lodging options in Concrete, more information can be found at the Concrete Chamber of Commerce website here: Concrete Lodging.
