In celebration of their 50th Anniversary the Bob Adams Airport will host up to 25 vintage planes and Warbirds as well as other unique aircrafts from the World War II era. Vintage aircraft and helicopter rides will be available as well as demonstrations by the brand new Cirrus Design piston aircraft. This interactive exhibit will be complimented by two remote control aircraft shows each day that spectators will not want to miss. In addition to vintage planes, the newly formed Steamboat Springs Car Club will have a variety of vintage cars on display.
Admissions is only $5 for adults and $2 for children 5-16 and children 4 and under are free. Spectators will receive the 2009 Commemorative Wild West Air Fest button with admission.
