[2] Simsbury Airport covers an area of 103 acres (42 ha) which contains one asphalt paved runway (3/21) measuring 2,205 x 50 ft (672 x 15 m).
[1] For the 12-month period ending June 30, 2008, the airport had 12,775 aircraft operations, an average of 35 per day: 99% general aviation and 1% air taxi.
The event, which as many as 10,000 people, 150 airplanes, and over 400 classic autos have attended in the past, also showcases parachute jumpers and a simulated rescue by a LifeStar helicopter, and has vendors and manufacturers displaying their products.
The aircraft flew into a patch of rough air and the pilot lost control which resulted in a major loss of altitude.
[3] On September 8, 2019, shortly before 2:30pm local time, emergency crews responded to a call of an airplane that went off the end of the runway.
