Air Show Restrictions and Tips - Safety First!

The Air Show and Fly-In is great family fun and a wonderful way to spend the day enjoying airplanes against the backdrop of a beautiful Colorado sky and the Rocky Mountains. As you pack your things to attend, remember that you will be outdoors all day and exposed to the sun and the elements. Please take adequate precautions, which allow for the weather, UV rays, direct and reflected sunlight (and heat), loud jet noise, etc. Children, elderly, handicapped, pregnant women, and anyone taking "photosensitive medications" or having other special needs or sensitivities may be especially vulnerable to the elements.

While CSA will have first aid teams on site, we respectfully ask everyone who attends the event to use their best judgment to ensure themselves a safe, comfortable and fun day.  We also ask for your positive energy in hoping for a cool, clear, and dry day!
