2024 Wyoming Aviation Festival
The inaugural Wyoming Aviation Festival at the Cheyenne Regional Airport was a huge success! The positive community response was overwhelming! Thanks to everyone who participated or helped out!
Come out next year!
At this year's festival, the Commemorative Air Force B24/B29 Squadron brought in "Fifi" the B-29 Bomber, "Nella" AT-6 the WASP Trainer, and a C-45. Also on hand were a number of local vintage aircraft. Inside the 1960 terminal were displays, vendors, and activities for kids of all ages. There were even food trucks and raffles!
​
Governor Gordon signed a public proclamation for the first Wyoming Aviation History Week, which coincided with National Aviation Day. The proclamation ceremony also included the induction of Rich Bastian into the Wyoming Aviation Hall of Fame.
​
Presentations given by local aviation historians were a big hit and included "The Transcontinental Airmail Route", "Women in Military Aviation", "B-17 Modifications Center", and "Amelia Earhart." Thanks to Mike Kassel, Ellie Dana, and Dave Marcum!

The positive response to the festival, the WAHL mission, and saving the 1960 terminal was tremendous! Thank you everyone who helped, sponsored, or attended!
