"The largest event of its kind in New England"

We need volunteers! Click here for an online application.

The annual Simsbury Fly-In is the largest event of its kind in New England. Co-Sponsored by EAA Chapter 324 and the Valley Classic Wheels car club, last year's event was held on Sunday, Sept. 23, 2007. It was a beautiful clear weather day, with warm temperatures.

It was our best year ever. We drew an estimated 10,000 spectators, 220 airplanes of all types, and over 300 antique and classic autos. The Fly-In featured a skydiving exhibition, a simulated rescue by LifeStar helicopter, live music by The Clams, a collection of military vehicles, judging and trophies for cars and airplanes, and many displays of homebuilt and other interesting aircraft. Dealer displays included several of the new Light Sport aircraft.
