The fourth annual AOPA Fly-In at the Buckeye Air Fair was held in February at the Buckeye Municipal Airport (BXK) in Arizona. With a record number of attendees and great weather, the event was a resounding success. “The 2026 Buckeye Air Fair was so much more than just a fly-in or airshow—it was a celebration of aviators and community,” said Elizabeth O’Connell, AOPA director of outreach and events. “Seeing families, aviation enthusiasts, and visitors from across the country come together to experience the excitement of aviation, camaraderie, and support for AOPA was inspiring. This event continues to grow, and so does the sense of community it brings.”
