Schedule Exhibitor-Sponsor List Event Map Raffles
What is a Fly-In? Similar to a car show, aircraft fly in to be judged, while spectators get to see a gathering of amateur built, antique, military, and other unique aircraft — and meet their pilots, builders, and restorers! Expected highlights include the Chile Flight (formation flying team), helicopters, gliders, ultralights, and static displays of remote-controlled aircraft.

- Come early to see arriving aircraft and catch the 8AM Opening Ceremony!
- Browse the Exhibit Hall with aviation businesses, educational institutions, and nonprofit organizations.
