AIRPORT INFO
- The contest box is immediately north of the airfield.
- The traffic pattern will be moved to the south for the three contest days. This means left traffic for runway 26, which is the calm wind runway. Do not approach the airport directly from the north as you’ll be in the box.
- REI has self-serve fuel very close to the contest parking area in front of the terminal building.
- Bring chocks if you have them as portions of the ramp slope.
- There are no hangars available.
- Our wavier is only Fri – Sun, so there is no early practice in the box.

The contest hotel is the Ayres Redlands. We have a discount code (below), but you may be able to find better rates. There are several hotels in the same general vicinity in Redlands. Last year, the Ayres did sell out on the holiday weekend so book early. Click link below or call the hotel and ask for the International Aerobatic Club rate. There should be enough vehicles at Ayres to get people to/from airport.
