The Copperstate Air Show and EAA Fly-In literally “flew” into the area this weekend, October 7 through 10. Sponsored by the Arizona Council of EAA Chapters, the venue was held at the Phoenix Regional Airport located just seven miles southeast of Maricopa. Thousands of people who attended the 32nd annual event were given the opportunity to view over 500 aircraft.

In addition to three exciting air shows scheduled at mid-day on Friday through Sunday, there were many activities for both adults and children, including workshops, educational forums, vendor displays, food booths and aviation-related items for sale. Both tent and RV camping were available on the grounds.
