Located on the field are some of the finest examples of vintage planes anywhere. Check out the website for more info. During the summer they hold a dinner movie night on the last Saturday of the month. During the afternoon they give airshow priced plane rides. During dinner there is usually live music with the movie starting at dusk projected on to a hangar door. People fly in, drive in, bike in and walk in for this event. Please come visit. Fun for everyone - adults, kids and dogs! Or fly in any time for a good burger at the Betty Boop grill and just sit under the trees and watch the aviation action!" - Submitted by Samantha Beattie
