Flabob Airport is a rare sanctuary where “the spirit of vintage aviation lives on.”

Aviation history does not belong in dusty museums, but in the sound of radial engines, the gleam of polished wings, and the eager hands of the next generation learning to dream skyward.

More than anything, Flabob Airport is a community. Pilots, historians, students, and families gather here to share their love of aviation. Fly-ins, workshops, and special events make the airport a cultural landmark where memories are made and stories of flight continue to unfold.

Flabob is one of the rare places in the country where the DC-3 is not only preserved but actively flown and used as a training platform. Here, pilots don’t just read about the systems in a textbook; they learn them in the cockpit, guided by experts who understand the aircraft’s quirks and demands. The DC-3 requires a unique blend of skill, patience, and respect, skills that Flabob’s instructors instill in every student who straps into the captain’s seat.
