The purpose of Golden West is to promote aviation education and safety by holding an annual EAA Regional Fly-in. Golden West strives to present aviation at its best in a venue that provides a fun and educational outing for the entire family. Some of the activities you will find at the Golden West EAA Regional Fly-In include:
A close up look at hundreds of aircraft including, homebuilts, antiques, aerobatic, ultralights, hot air balloons, racers, WWII warbirds and current military aircraft.
