Coming next weekend, the City of Lincoln and the Lincoln Chamber of Commerce are hosting the annual airport Wings and Wheels event at our Lincoln Airport. Our chapter is participating as we’ve outline in many emails over the past months. (It’s not too late to volunteer to help, but it’s getting too late quickly.)

Parking is free. Admission on Friday night is $5 and for Saturday, it’s $10. Kids under 18 are admitted free. If you are a substantial volunteer, it is also free. More details on the Chamber’s webpage.

Invite friends and family to this plane (and car) event and show off our airport to the city and region. See you there!

After a run of 63 meetings (5 years and 3 months’ worth in a row) we took a bit of a breather this Spring but are now approaching the departure runway for more “What Would You Do?” pilot education video scenarios.

Our August online meeting will feature two flights that encountered unexpected challenges. The IMC scenario involves an IMC flight into deteriorating weather with increasing turbulence over mountainous terrain in Wyoming.  The VMC scenario involves a sudden problem trying to see while departing for a flight around your home airport’s traffic pattern.  We look forward to a lively discussion!

To all airport users, from the City of Lincoln Public Works:

On Monday (6-9-25), the City will be holding a memorial unveiling for Captain John Sax at the stop sign on Flightline Drive. Because of this, we will be closing the  southbound lane of Flightline Drive at 7am to allow set up and will do a hard closure of Flightline Drive at 9 am at Gate 1 and Gate 3. The attached closure map shows a detour route through the Airport if you need to get to the northern end of Flightline. There will be Lincoln Police Department Citizens on Patrol at Gate 1 and Gate 3 directing people through that need to get through. If you need to go through the Airport while the closure is in place, please do not exceed 10 mph and pay close attention to aircraft and other hazards.

Thank you,
Public Works
City of Lincoln

Temperatures hovering above 100 degrees and a short runway at Lampson Field have forced the cancellation of our planned Fly-Out for next Saturday, May 31. We will reschedule and try again at a later date.
