Virginia Festival Of Flight Announces 'Parade Of Flight'

New Event Responds To Attendees Requests

After 14 successful years, the Virginia Aviation Council is adding what it hopes will be a crowd pleasing flying event to their popular Virginia Regional Festival of Flight. Surveys have shown that attendees want to see more aircraft in flight in addition to static displays. So this year, a Directed Parade of Flight will take place on Saturday, April 28 from 12:30pm to 1:30pm at the Suffolk Executive Airport (KSFQ). The airport will be closed by NOTAM to all arriving and departing traffic during this aerial showcase.

Pilots who plan to participate in the Directed Parade of Flight must fill out a form and send it to the Field Manager, Tom Tyndall.

The main rules for the parade of aircraft are:

  • Open only to experimental, antique, classic and light sport aircraft.
  • The aircraft will be sorted by category and speed.
  • Each plane is limited to three circuits of the airport, no formation flying.
  • Maximum of 4 planes in the pattern at a time.
  • Minimum of 500 foot altitude over the runway.
  • Normal traffic pattern.

The form, which is due by April 25th, is available on the event website. The Festival of Flight will be offering its normal lineup of forums, workshops, aircraft judging, and a pancake breakfast each day.
