Black Rock International Airport boasts mile-long runway, though if it
came down to it, the playa gives you nearly 25 miles if it came down to
needing the space. (Only 5,280 x 50 feet are groomed for landing.) If
you need a bird's eye view of the city, put your name on the board, and
like all things* at Black Rock City, there's no cost. (*Except
ice and coffee sold in Center Camp, with proceeds donated to the local
communities.)
As you approach the airport, you'll see the roundabout markings,
just like larger airports you're used to.
The airport complex, complete with its Gate 1, a customs station,
and pilots lounge.
The terminal area, where pilots and passengers can congregate until
it's departure time.
This is the 2:26pm flight up, a mix of jumpers and passengers to
look at Black Rock City from above.
Not all the planes are little things, either; this big boy was tied
down and waiting for its next run.
The limo of the sister group, Black Rock Travel Agency, waits for
riders outside the terminal.
