A close up look at hundreds of aircraft including, homebuilts, antiques, aerobatic, ultralights, hot air balloons, racers, WWII warbirds and current military aircraft. If it flies it comes to Golden West. Only at a Fly-in can you get this close to this variety of aircraft. Talk to the owner/pilots, peek inside and maybe even take a ride!

See new aircraft from General Aviation, Kit and Sport Plane manufacturers.

For Kid’s there are hands-on workshops where they learn about the mechanics of flight, construction projects where they experience how airplanes are made, and for those kids 8-17, free Young Eagle rides where they live the dream of flight.

Exciting aerial demonstrations and low-level fly-bys each day.

An aerobatic airshow on Saturday with lots of smoke and noise and thrills. The latest from avionics manufacturers, in aviation software.

Buy aircraft accessories, tools and complete plans for airplanes.

Forums by aviation experts. Talk with authors and war heroes.

Golden West Regional Fly-In is the youngest of the nine Regional Fly-ins. The first Golden West Fly-in was in 1998 at the former Castle Air Force Base near Merced, CA. In 2000 the event was relocated to the Sacramento Executive airport to provide access for more people. The final move to the new site at Yuba County Airport in Marysville provides access for a large number of people and plenty of space to accommodate all of the elements listed above.
