Ashland Airport Day (S03)
June 7 @ 8:00 am – 3:00 pm
We are pleased to invite you all to come join us for our Ashland Airport Day! Admission is FREE! We are family centered and are stoked to share our love of aviation with everyone.
In the world of aviation, weather plays a key role. We plan to have plane and helicopter rides this year, but it is all contingent on weather. Rides will be on a first come, first serve basis as we can only fit so many in our one day. Do not fret though! We offer our Intro and Scenic Flights year round as weather permits. You may schedule a flight for up to three members onboard on plane and see our local valley and nearby areas from the sky.
Come check out the “Ashland UFO” so many of you have been seeing flying around. Mistaken for a drone, we have an aircraft that is just so different from what we already have in the world of aviation. The Pivotal BlackFly is an electric-powered VTOL personal air vehicle that will be on display. A demo flight is scheduled, but is contingent on weather conditions. This flight is most likely to take place earlier in the morning.
We will have our local Rogue Valley Flying Club out there with a booth to share information about how you too can have access to a fleet of ready to fly planes. They are based out of Medford Airport via MillionAir. They offer Flying Member and General Member memberships. You can be a part of the flying club without holding a pilot license as a general member and have access to all the get together and barbeques.
Want to get a Private Pilot License? We offer training at our Ashland Airport with our Certified Flight Instructors as well as an Intro Flight.
Pilots are cool, but remember the unsung heroes who keep it all going-the mechanics! Check out a real life maintenance and repair station where aircraft mechanics keep these machines alive, airworthy and safe. For those of you who find themselves mechanically inclined, this is a great opportunity to get a peek in to the life of an aviation mechanic. We have a General Aviation shop as well as a Helicopter Facility.

We ask that you please do not touch propellers or stand close to them. It is recommended that you stay out of the “arch” or the propeller, which is the area in which the propeller rotates. Please keep a close eye on your kiddos so that they don’t touch or get near them. This is a general rule of thumb in aviation and we want to ensure everyone has a wonderful and safe experience. Please do not climb in or touch aircraft unless an owner of the plane says otherwise. Of course photos are welcome!
