I've been twice. Its very fun, but geared exclusively towards vintage/antique aircraft. Attendance requires membership in AAA, the fly-in is technically invitation only.

ceh

Yes it is a fun fly-in with lots of good midwest food and no radio communication allowed, an absolute blast to get 20+ old airplanes in the pattern and land when you get the green flag.

Dale, you mean my ratty old 1974 scout could go, or do they need to be pretty and shiny? Also, Clay said something about "inventational" guests. John

FYI:

For all pilots planning to fly into Antique Airfield during the 2008 National AAA/APM Fly-in, the owners and operators of Antique Airfield as well as the Board of Directors of the AAA/APM would appreciate your reading the following information as well as cooperation in making our annual fly-in a safe and enjoyable event for all.

The annual AAA/APM Fly-in is a closed private event open only to members of the AAA, their guests and members of their affiliated type clubs (10). If you plan to attend and are not an AAA member, guest of an AAA member or a member of an affiliated type club you will be required to join the AAA, no exceptions. Membership in the EAA, AOPA, NBAA, any other aviation organization or an airman's certificate will not qualify one for admittance into this fly-in.

This fly-in is held on private property that receives no federal, state or local monies. Therefore while we welcome anyone with a sincere interest in antique aircraft to join the AAA, we do not have the room, facilities nor manpower to handle the general flying public. Nor can we afford the liability exposure that allowing the general public into this event would create.
