Columbia Airport and Canards West

As many of you already know, Columbia Airport offers a wonderful campground tucked away in the shade of an old oak grove. You can pitch your tent at one of 20 campsites that include picnic tables and fire rings, or you can camp right under the wing of your airplane. The campground also features a large group fire ring, bathrooms with flush toilets and hot showers, horse shoe pits and a sand volleyball court. At just $10/night the campground at Columbia Airport is one of the best deals around for camping.

If you are anywhere West of the Mississippi, you shouldn't miss this canard fly-in at O22. We generally have between 25 - 35 canard aircraft show up, with presentations and a dinner on Saturday night. Rides and aircraft review available for newbies and builders (usually). (credit: Marc Zeitlin)
