Flabob Airport and the City of Jurupa Valley will hold their 24th annual Veterans Celebration on Saturday, November 14, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Pacific. Admission and parking are free at the airport, at 5370 Mission Rock Way in Jurupa Valley. The celebration takes place the Saturday after Veterans Day, not on the holiday itself.
What to see from the ground
The airport’s event schedule lists a noon ceremony honoring veterans, a parade, vintage airplanes on static display and planned tours of the Wright Flyer Museum. You don’t need to buy a flight to see the aircraft displays. The EAA Chapter 1116 calendar also lists the event and notes that some activities cost extra.
Airplane rides are separate
Organizers plan to sell rides, weather and operations permitting. There’s also a separate noon raffle for biplane rides. To enter, visitors must be 18 or older and present an Eventbrite ticket at the airplane ride booth. Winners need to be on the airport grounds when drawn. Check the airport’s event page for ticket information and any last-minute schedule changes before heading out.
