One Day Only – Sunday, September 5th, 2010
The most unusual airport in the world is having a Fly-In for unusual aircraft. Bring your unusual, rare, or exotic aircraft to the Black Rock Desert to show off to the 50,000 citizens of Burning Man. Be our guests at Black Rock Municipal Airport (88NV) on the last day of the Burning Man Festival and learn more about the art, the community, and the festival, just before our annual airport disappears. In previous years, we’ve enjoyed rare aircraft such as the Antonov AN-2, Sikorsky S-38 amphib, Wren 460, and many others.
We welcome aviation visitors on the Sunday before Labor Day, but you must be self sufficient which is always a primary Burning Man guideline. Bring your own food, water, sunscreen, hat, and other desert necessities because there is no commerce. Make sure you have enough fuel to land including reserve on departure to reach Susanville, Winnemucca, or Reno; also consider having enough fuel to give a brief sight-seeing flight around the city to deserving airport volunteers.
Black Rock Municipal Airport is a Private Use of Public Lands, FAA registered temporary airport. The identifier is 88NV and the runway is prepared dirt; 5280×50 feet with no obstacles. This is a busy airport, so please read and print the latest information on our website prior to flying in. Updates during the event on runway condition and weather should be available subject to technical difficulties (which are not uncommon in the middle of nowhere in a dust storm). You must read the airport advisory prior to departure. Click here for more info. Please also review the Burning Man official website,
