Important Airport Day Update
Airport Day 2025 Cancelled
Unfortunately, due to unforeseen circumstances, the Brookings Flying club has make the difficult decision to cancel our flagship public outreach event, Airport Day, for the 2025 season.

We are saddened that we will not get to see all of you this year, and that our youth programs and scholarship funds will not receive their usual fundraising for the year. We hope to have our event back up and running for 2026.
