Experimental Aircraft Association Chapter 1714 hosted Sacramento Executive Airport’s inaugural Halloween Fly-In at 6151 Freeport Boulevard. The free event featured decorated aircraft and activities for children, according to the Sacramento365 listing and the Sacramento Bee.
Flight Level 510 sponsored the event with EAA Chapter 1714. In its preview, KCRA described the fly-in as an opportunity to introduce people to aviation and encourage interest in future aviation careers; its listing also mentioned food trucks and children’s activities.
Attendance exceeded the organizers’ expectations: the Bee reported that more than 2,000 people had arrived by the midpoint, although organizers had anticipated a few hundred. The airport lot filled, and some attendees parked across Freeport Boulevard in nearby neighborhoods, the Bee reported.
The Bee also reported that EAA Chapter 1714 president Anastasia Long said the line remained out the door and that organizers had received no complaints at the time. These turnout and response details rely on the Bee’s event reporting.
