Went to Madras to ride in the B-17 Ye Olde Pup , so exciting.
Went during the 2017 great american eclipse. Unforgettable experience. Entrance was neat, arrived the day before, got a spot for the tent. The exit difficult due to crowds and lack of information on when or where to exit. Had some friends who had to wait 6 hours to leave the airport.
Went to the air show. It was amazing
Really nice place. Totally out of the way little airport but also home of the Erickson aircraft museum. There are small private planes here, skydiving and some airshows. The real gem is the WWII warbird collection...almost all of which flies!!! They have multiple Ally aircraft....B17, B25, F4u Coursair, 2 German fighters, the plane from the beginning of Raiders of the Lost Ark...
Went to the airshow! Was really cool and great for kids and family's. Lots of snacks and food carts, beer garden, t-shirts and other little things for sale!
Watched a little science this morning, a NASA test high altitude balloon launch
City of Madras decided to turn it's airport fields into camping site and accommodate the visitors that came to see the eclipse, which is great, but after charging people $55 for tent spot and $25 for parking spot a night, they can at least provide more porter potties. There were only few for thousands of people that arrived and there was long line at all time, after one night it was so full that you simply couldn't use it anymore. Beyond disgusting.
I came to this airport in 2017 during the Total Solar Eclipse. Seemed like a great airport! I'm not going to judge it based on what it was like during the eclipse, because it was very much overcrowded. I appreciated that the airport was not such a long way from the town itself.
Nice quiet place for a one night stay with Harvest Host!!!
Beautifully restored vintage aircraft in the museum' hangar. Friendly and knowledgeable staff.
