On Saturday from 10 am until 3 pm, an Airport Open House and Young Eagles Rally will be held at the Danville Regional Airport. Averett University’s flight instructors and pilots from Virginia and North Carolina will complete free plane rides for children ages 8 to 17.

Airplane rides for the Danville Regional Airport’s Free Fly Day will begin at noon due to the weather forecast.  Open House activities will begin at 10 am as previously scheduled.

Due to the delay with completing free airplane rides, it will be necessary to complete flight activity on a first come first serve basis.  Parents can sign the required waiver form beginning at 10 am.

Airport Open House activities include tours of airport facilities, including the Operations Tower and the newly renovated terminal building. In addition, those attending can experience the Danville Science Center’s StarLab and enjoy a star filled night and flight into space aboard the Orion Spacecraft.
