Fly-In FAQs

Will there be AVGAS available at Ellsworth AFB?
NO!  Ellsworth AFB is not equipped to sell AVGAS.  Both self-serve and full-serve AVGAS is available at Rapid City Regional (KRAP) located 6 NM South of Ellsworth AFB.

 
Why is the arrival window so EARLY?
Ellsworth has a full air show to perform, so we'll need all civilian aircraft parked by 1030L.  Aircraft arriving after 1600Z will not be able to land at Ellsworth AFB.

 
 
Why do I have to talk to approach?
Ellsworth approach will be providing VFR traffic sequencing for ALL inbound Airshow aircraft.  By following the arrival procedures on this website, we'll be able to ensure you a safe and efficient arrival.

 
What about Departing From Ellsworth?
Departure will be in accordance with the published procedures on this website.  All departures will be VFR.  Fly-In departures will begin as soon as possible after the Airshow performances.  Please be patient and follow the instruction of flight line marshallers.

 
Can I bring passengers?
Of course, bring the kids, spouse, mom/dad, and friends. As PIC you’ll be responsible for your ‘crew’. Please leave any coolers, luggage, etc in your plane. You’ll have access to your plane the entire day. Please lock the aircraft (if you can) as the air show spectators will be allowed to walk through GA parking.
