Yakima Air Terminal-McAllister Field (YKM) hosts its inaugural Aviation Day on Saturday, June 1st, from 10:00 am to 4:00 pm.
The free, family-friendly event will include a variety of aircraft on display, with numerous booths highlighting the aviation industry.
“There will be aircraft of all kinds, food and fun!” said Airport Director Rob Hodgman. “We hope this event will raise awareness among young people and adults about career opportunities in aviation.”

Parking will be available in YKM’s main terminal, 2406 West Washington Avenue, or across the street at Perry Tech. ADA parking will be available at the event entrance.
Hodgman noted YKM’s Aviation Day will not include an air show. “As this is a new event, we are only doing a display of aircraft,” he said. “However, it will take place next to our 9/27 runway, which will remain open to aircraft throughout Aviation Day.”
