Bartlesville Municipal Airport is the place to be for two full days of exciting aviation activities as the airport hosts the 2024 Back to Bartlesville Regional Fly-In.
The event is set for Sept. 21-22 at the Bartlesville Municipal Airport, located just west of Bartlesville.
“We are very excited to bring this event back for a second year,” said Airport Director Mike Richardson. “The Back to Bartlesville Regional Fly-In was founded to bring back the essence of the great aviation events from years past, including the Biplane Expo, which ran 23 years until 2009. We had a great turnout and a slew of support last year, and this year looks to be even better.”
Fly-ins will include the Tulsa Warbirds, PT-17 Stearman bi-planes, Van’s FRV Formation team, Bellanca Winged Vikings, Super Vikings, Triple Tails and Cruise Masters. There will also be a historical Women’s Airforce Service Pilots of WW-II (WASP) display and tours of the WWII Airborne Demonstration Team Foundation’s C-49 “Wild Kat.”
Members of the public can book a ride on either the WASP AT-6G “Nella” or a Stearman PT-17 (bi-plane) via the website at www.bartlesville-fly-in.com.
Food truck vendors and merchandise vendors will be on site.
Gates will be open from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. both days.
Parking and entry for the event will be via the northeast corner of the airport grounds (near the intersection of Sunset Boulevard and Will Rogers Drive). There will be NO access from Highway 60 or Wiley Post Road. Parking is $10 per car load, per day. A tram will provide rides to and from the parking area and the event site.
