Steve Crowe Memorial Airshow

The Event Info:

Do you enjoy seeing jets whiz past? How about some amazing 3-D flying or classic large scale WW I and WW II aircraft? If you do, then you should come to the annual Steve Crowe Memorial Airshow on September 16, 2023, at the Chino Valley Flyers (CVF) Airfield in Chino Valley, Arizona. Not only will there be a lot of flying demonstrations but also open flying with NO landing fee for AMA members! To add to the excitement there will be not only a 50-50 raffle but also a raffle with a number of different aviation and other items. There is no admission charge!

Gates open at 8 AM on September 16th. There is plenty of free parking and lunch (burgers and hotdogs) will be available for purchase starting around 10 AM.

Bring your family, some comfy lawn chairs, plenty of water (stay hydrated!!), and your appetite to the CVF Airfield on September 16th! We are at 5,000 ft altitude and the sun can be pretty strong, so bring a hat as well.

Directions:

To get to our field: enter the roundabout on AZ Rte 89 on the north edge of Chino Valley, AZ and go east on Perkinsville Rd. There will be a CVF banner on the roundabout pointing east. Go east on Perkinsville Rd for about 3 miles, then turn north (to your left) on Santa Fe Trail (a gravel road). Go north about 1/2 mile and turn east (to your right) into the CVF Airfield.
