Chandler Airport Day

Chandler Municipal Airport (CHD) is excited to announce the return of its community open house, Airport Day, on Saturday, Jan. 20, from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. The event will bring together aviation enthusiasts and the public in celebration of the Airport's 75th anniversary at its current location near McQueen and Germann roads. Airport Day allows CHD staff to proudly showcase their place of work - which also happens to serve as the 16th busiest general aviation airport in the nation.

During the free event, attendees can enjoy a wide variety of static aircraft and helicopter displays up close. Every era of flight will be showcased - from the days of biplanes to rotary aircraft to modern executive jets and everything in between. There will be old military planes, fixed-wing aerobatic planes, and a collection of experimental aircraft that were built and took their first flights in Chandler.

There will be opportunities for attendees to take rides in some aircraft, and both Chandler Fire and Police departments will have information booths and vehicle displays. Attendees also will be able to purchase food from a variety of local food trucks.
