We will be celebrating 100 years of flight in Nelson 2012. The very first airplane to come to Nelson was flown by American Pilot Walter Edwards in September of 1912. This was a Curtis Pusher and performed a series of demonstration flights during Nelson’s annual Fall Fair known as Chaka Mica . We are planning several events at the airport to commemorate this important occasion. We will be updating as more details and information become available. View photos from Nelson Flightfest 2011
