To or from the playa

Here are some options. Join the aviators email list. Watch for rideshare offers. Post your request. Please state where you are coming from, (most pilots aren’t local) and what schedule you can manage. It’s also helpful to mention how much or how little baggage you have. Your weight may also be a significant factor. Here’s the aviators email list info. You must subscribe before sending a message:

The airport is closed at night. Aircraft landing after dark are subject to fines, citations, impoundment, and a severe scolding if anyone survives the landing.

You can hire a charter flight company. Look in the yellow pages for your area. This one operates out of Reno, and has proven highly reliable and safe.

Sightseeing/photography flights on the Playa

In addition, you can visit the Airport during the event, post a message on the Rides Wanted board, schmooze at the Phoenix Bar & Pilots Lounge, or hang out during one of the schedule pilot briefings (lots of pilots there!). The best way is to volunteer at the Airport. No guarantees of course, but most pilots recognize the contributions of the many volunteers who make the airport happen. At the time of this writing (August 18), it’s a bit late to arrange a specific volunteer opportunity, so come on out to the Airport and find out what’s available. Lots of shifts in Customs and Border Protection.
