Noise/traffic impacts
The airport will be open for normal aircraft operations during the event. While this event is not an airshow and there will not be any aerobatic demonstrations, you may see increased air traffic, see aircraft flybys, hear additional air traffic noise, and experience busier road traffic throughout the day around the airport.
