Big Bear City Airport (L35) proudly presents Big Bear Air Fair 2011 - "Transportation Then to Now" to be held on August 6, 2011 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. That Saturday the skies will be filled with the sights and sounds of vintage Warbirds, Just in Time Skydivers, Mountain Fifes and Drum Corp., and much more. Now in our 14th year, the Big Bear Air Fair continues to be one of Big Bear's most exciting family entertainment events.

Transportation Then to Now brings with it more than a dozen of the aircraft which secured our Nation's independence in earlier years. Two World War II vintage B-25 Mitchell Bombers, a carrier capable F4U Corsair, the 420 MPH P-38 Lightning, the very recognizable P-51 Mustang long range fighter, and a 1000+ horsepower P-40 Warhawk arrive straight out of the 1940's to grace our airspace. These aircraft will be accompanied on the display ramp by a Vietnam era Douglas A-1 Skyraider and an assortment of T-34 propeller and T-38 jet training aircraft. Guests should find the 1930's designed twin engine C-45 Expeditor, also known as the Beechcraft Model 18, an exciting addition to the display.

Fly-Ins are welcomed and enthusiastically encouraged to participate in the spot landing competition upon arrival. Parking will be available on the ramp south of the runway and east of the terminal.

Gates open at 7 a.m.with a pancake breakfast prepared by Big Bear Kiwanis. This day promises to be filled with fun, food, fresh air and fantastic flying.

Auxillary parking will be available one mile from the Airport at the Big Bear Snow Play parking lot - 42825 Big Bear Blvd., Big Bear City. The nearest cross street is Division, next to Motel 6. For your convenience a shuttle will run to and from the Airport beginning at 8:30 a.m. and ending at 5 p.m.

Fuel: Fuel will be available from the fuel trucks on a "first-come-first-serve" basis. Place your order with the fuel truck drivers who will be on the field; we will have one truck for 100LL and one for Jet A.

For aircraft within the showlines: There will be no engine running allowed between the hours of 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Contact a parking official in orange vest before departure.

All vendor booth signups are closed - sign up early for 2013 if you would like to be a food or concession vendor.

NOTICE: Due to problems we have had in the past, absolutely NO dogs will be allowed on the field. The only exceptions will be service dogs. Also, no alcoholic beverages, Heelees, skateboards, bikes, or wheels of any kind (except wheelchairs and strollers) will be allowed.
