Q: Can I bring my dog (or other pet) to the event?
A: This is one of those venue's where it's probably best to leave your beloved pets at home, or in a well-ventilated car. There will be a lot of activity going on here - between visitors, moving aircraft, other display vehicles - so for safety and comfort reasons we're asking everyone to please enjoy the open house with just their human friends and family! Service animals are the only exception.
Q: Will there be food and/or other vendors at the event?
A: Yes, Hilltop Restaurant will once again have BBQ'd lunch food, drinks and other snacks available for purchase.
Q: Is this like other air shows that I've been to, with aerobatic acts and demonstration teams? Will there be aircraft rides available?
A: This event is just like our monthly museum open houses... just bigger and with more aircraft! There are no aerobatic acts or military demonstration teams who will be performing. There will, however, be lots of flying taking place during the day. Our pilots will be working with the tower controllers (and within all the FAA regulations) to perform as many fly-bys as will fit into the airport's busy commercial and general aviation traffic! At this time, there are no aircraft that will be giving rides.
Q: Will we be able to sit in the cars or the aircraft?
A: No. These are show vehicles and aircraft - they are great to look at and photograph, but getting in and out of them puts a lot of wear and tear on them, which is never good! The car owners would also really appreciate it if you could refrain from touching or leaning up against the cars - it's really easy to smudge and scratch those beautiful paint jobs!
