Ames Fly-In

Ames Fly-In is back! 

Join us on June 13 from 7:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. at the Ames Municipal Airport for a high-energy, family-friendly morning of food, music, and amazing vehicles – all while supporting our community. Proceeds benefit the Boys & Girls Clubs of Story County and the Ames Police Benefit Association (APBA).

Enjoy all-you-can-eat pancakes, sausage, and a drink with a $10 per person ticket, free admission for kids 5 and under, and $5 tickets for ages 6-12. Kids (and kids at heart!) will love seeing large transportation up close – including fire trucks, tow trucks, ambulances, and more – plus live entertainment from Omaha Street Percussion. Want to take it to the sky? 15-minute airplane rides are available for $35 per person, with early scheduling opening June 8 (stay tuned for more details). Come hungry, bring the family, and kick off summer at the Ames Fly-In for a great cause!
