Driving Access & Parking - Changed for 2026

Many have noted that driving access has been very slow the last two years. To help us to navigate the driving challenges, we've done two things: 1. moved the picnic to Monday; a less busy day at AirVenture than Wednesday; and 2. obtained special parking permits from EAA

Viewable / Printable Driving & Parking Directions

Driving directions & details about parking permits will be available in the summer.

Speakers & Topic

We are fortunate to have a speaker from another great organization that touches both aviation and one of Rotary's 7 Areas of Focus!

LightHawk Conservation Flying

A nonprofit dedicated to conservation flying, LightHawk collaborates with partners to design flight campaigns that drive conservation impact, support education, and enhance outreach. Thanks to the generosity of over 300 volunteer pilots and donors, LightHawk provides these flights at no cost. Since aviation resources are often cost-prohibitive, they provide scientists, conservation groups, media, and other stakeholders with aerial access to enhance their work.
