The City of Fernandina Beach and the local aviation community invite residents and visitors to provide feedback on the long-term initiatives of the ongoing Airport Master Plan Update and to explore the people, aircraft, and services of Fernandina Beach Municipal Airport during the KFHB Airport Open House.
Designed for the general public, families, aviation enthusiasts, and anyone interested in learning more about the airport, the open house will provide an up-close look at aircraft, aviation businesses, community organizations, and public-safety equipment. Attendees will also have an opportunity to review and provide feedback at the first of two public events showcasing the planning efforts for the Airport Master Plan Update.
Aircraft scheduled for display include a classic yellow Piper Cub, a twin-engine AirCam, an ultralight trike, a training aircraft and aircraft represented by the Civil Air Patrol and a Barefoot Flyers Powered Paraglider. An aeromedical helicopter is also expected to participate, subject to emergency service availability. Additional aircraft, including a Cirrus Vision Jet and other locally based airplanes, are expected to participate.
A special opening ceremony is also being planned, including remarks from City and airport representatives and an opening parachute jump by World Skydiving Center, weather and operational conditions permitting.
The open house is intended to showcase Fernandina Beach Municipal Airport as a community asset, public-safety partner, and economic contributor while giving the public a transparent look at current operations and long-term airport planning.
