Rocky Mountain Fly-In Moves to New Home

EAA-sponsored fly-in to be held at Colorado's Front Range Airport

Past success and future growth opportunities have led the board of the Rocky Mountain EAA Regional Fly-In (RMRFI) to relocate their popular celebration of aviation to Front Range Airport in 2004.  With growing popularity over its 25-year history, the two-day summer festival has outgrown its traditional host in Longmont, Colorado. This year's family-oriented event, slated for June 26-27, will be held at Front Range Airport, located on the I-70 Corridor just six miles southeast of Denver International Airport. Planners expect from 10,000 to 12,000 spectators to attend the fly-in at its new location.

"Front Range offers us many advantages," explained Jim Cimiluca, this year's fly-in director. "The major benefits are increased auto parking and tie-down space as well as more space for exhibitors and more elbow room for visitors. Front Range gives us better access to the metro area, and we expect to see more folks coming up from Colorado Springs and Pueblo this year."

Hosting the EAA fly-in is one of many signs of growth at Front Range Airport in 2004, the most visible being the construction of a 192-foot air traffic control tower scheduled for completion in December this year.

Dennis Heap, Director of Aviation at Front Range Airport, is enthusiastic about the prospects of a long-term relationship with the all-volunteer RMRFI. "Front Range is one of the three general aviation reliever airports to DIA, and is best suited to meet the long-term needs of the piston fleet as well as large business jets." Heap stated he is looking forward to showcasing the Front Range Airport to general aviation enthusiasts as well as the surrounding community.

This year's fly-in features aerial performers, seminars, workshops, aircraft displays, and children's activities. Ticket prices for this summer's Rocky Mountain EAA Regional Fly-In are $7 for EAA members and $10 for the general public. Children 9 and under are free.
