Commission approves Capital Flight’s Rock the Ramp special event permit for July 19
Summary
The Commission approved a special‑event plan for Capital Flight LLC to host Rock the Ramp on July 19 after organizers described expanded airshow acts, extended closures and safety arrangements; staff raised no operational objections.
The Middleton Airport Commission approved a special‑event permit for Capital Flight LLC to hold its Rock the Ramp event on July 19. The organizer, Matt Holfelt, summarized operational plans including expanded airshow acts, additional food trucks, EMS on the field rather than on standby, and slightly longer runway closures compared with last year.
Organizers said setup will occur Thursday with teardown Saturday to minimize disruption to routine airport operations. Rich (airport staff) highlighted the event layout and pointed to a labeled entrance line indicating 'pilots only beyond this point'; staff and volunteers will direct attendees to keep public areas separate from aircraft ramp areas.
After the presentation the Commission moved, received a second and approved the plan by voice vote. No commissioner recorded an opposition during the voice vote. Staff noted that the cruise‑in event for August was not on the current agenda and would be handled separately.
The organizer said the event is now in its seventh year and aims to expand the airshow component; the Commission recorded operational approval and asked staff to continue coordinating logistics with the organizer.
