Rangeley airport schedules community ‘Fun Day’ fly‑in for Aug. 22, 2026
Summary
Commissioners heard a report that an airport community event and fly‑in will be held on Aug. 22, 2026; organizers discussed static displays, food vendors, possible flybys and outreach to regional pilots and hangar owners for participation.
The Rangeley Airport Commission heard plans for a community event that the commission member organizing it described as a fly‑in and festival on Aug. 22, 2026.
The organizer said the event will combine an aircraft fly‑in with static displays, food vendors and music to provide attractions even if weather is poor; organizers plan to reach out to nearby airports and pilots for participating aircraft and display contributions. The organizer said he will contact contacts who worked on prior air shows for ideas and assistance and asked commissioners to help recruit pilots for display aircraft and short‑field landing demonstrations.
Commissioners discussed safety and logistics — including whether to seek military flybys and the practical limits of obtaining them — and suggested staging static displays inside hangars or adjacent areas if necessary. The commission encouraged continued planning and outreach and asked the organizer to report back as details firm up.
