The 7th Annual Airport Day is Saturday, June 16, 2012 from 9 am - 3 pm.
 
Airport Day is a low-key fun event for the whole family, and what better way to celebrate Father's Day weekend than to spend a beautiful Saturday afternoon with dad at the Boulder Airport.  You'll see WWII planes, antique planes, aerobatic planes, a military helicopter, gliders, and much more.  The aircraft will be on stationary display so you can look inside, ask questions of the pilots and take photos.  In addition, there will be fire/rescue trucks, food vend0rs, ice cream, and rides in a helicopter and an open-cockpit bi-plane.
 
Admission and parking are completely FREE!   Click here for directions.

Hot air balloon launch
As a special treat, there will be six or more hot air balloons conducting a simultaneous launch sometime between 6:30-7 am.  The balloons will be located in the grass, east of Bldg 3335.  It's fun to watch the balloons rise up in the early morning sun, then catch breakfast before coming back at 9 am for Airport Day events.
