Flyback Friday to this day 13 years ago when the airport was recognized for providing "a valuable service to the City"

We documented a lot of the Longmont Flood here and will add some of those posts to our comments throughout the weekend 🫶✈️💦🚁

"Most flights are much lower, of course, but with a similar sense of awe."

"Although many students arrive interested in becoming pilots, flight experiences can also introduce them to engineering, coding, artificial intelligence, drones, climate science, and other STEM careers. Pilots answer questions, explain possible routes into the field, and help aviation feel more approachable."

Should we start a "guest" column of our own? Feature those in y/our airport community who know how our Longmont Airport Community actually works or have supportive kind words to share about all the good LMO does and have a positive vision for its future? If you are one of those people, send us a message 🫶🛩

to this wonderful General Aviation News 2024 article:
"The future of aerospace is great at Vance Brand Municipal Airport (KLMO) in Longmont, Colorado.

At least, it sure looked great to an estimated 7,500 attendees who celebrated Longmont Airport Expo Day at KLMO in Colorado’s Front Range on Sept. 14, 2024. In addition to the on-field attendees, as many as 1,500 additional spectators watched from local roads and open space trails."

Over 7,500 people celebrated Longmont Airport Expo Day at KLMO in Colorado with thrilling aerobatic performances, classic aircraft displays, and even a car parade. The event featured local aviation companies, a pancake breakfast, and a b**r garden, with free admission and parking for all. Highlights included a flyable 1949 Aerocar and an award ceremony for local pilot Elliott Crawford.

City politics are the last thing we want to discuss here, but being informed is necessary if we want our airport to thrive.

"If anyone can stop in and observe this session tomorrow and be a face for the airport, it is definitely needed." JG
