Air Show Week Fly-In information:
Friday: 6am -12:30pm and 4pm - 6:30pm
Saturday and Sunday: 6am –10:30am and after 5:30pm

• Check the NOTAM's for actual start time of the TFR. There may be construction closures in addition to Air Show closures.
  
• If you are arriving prior to the Temporary Flight Restriction going into effect, you should have no problem making a routine approach to Hillsboro.
  
• For the Friday show, plan to arrive and be parked prior to 5:00 p.m. local time.
  
• The Friday show generally ends with pyrotechnics, including fireworks and a wall of fire. Plan on a minimum 15 to 30 minute delay prior to the reopening of the runway while the Port of Portland sweeps and checks the runway to ensure it has not been contaminated. Please be patient as you exit after the show is over on Friday.
  
• For Saturday and Sunday, ensure you are on the ground and parked prior to 10:15 a.m. local time.
  
• Once the TFR (Temporary Flight Restriction) goes into effect, it will be very difficult to enter/exit the airspace and is only allowed on emergency basis.
  
• Make sure and get the ATIS before checking in with the Tower on frequency 119.3 (this is also the airboss frequency). Call the tower at least 10 miles from the airport.
  
• Expect to land on Runway 30 (wind permitting). After touchdown, either turn right on taxiway B or Rwy 2 (if able, it's only about 1,700 feet from the Rwy 30 threshold). Otherwise turn left at any exit and Ground Control will direct you to spectator parking at the "Northeast T-Hangars". From there, a shuttle will bring you over to the Air Show main gate.
  
• If you arrive after the show has begun, Hillsboro Ground control may be able to assist you on frequency 121.7.

Check Your NOTAMS.
