Planes/helicopters will also be landing at the airport for public viewing. The full host of events includes hot air balloon and plane rides, a bouncy house, face painting, paper airplane contests, various craft and food and drink vendors, as well as performances from local dance, tumbling and martial arts studios. Visitors can also shoot a machine gun (simulated) and operate radio controlled plane models.
The purpose of the Carson City Airport Open House is to raise community awareness of the importance of General aviation airports for the Carson City and Nevada economy. The economic impact of the airport to the local community is estimated at over $30 million annually.
