Welcome to Lake Elmo Airport (21D). We're happy you can join us for this year's big fly-in. The pilot-in-command eats free. You'll obtain a ticket from a marshal or aircraft greeter. In addition, we have several categories for judging aircraft: best homebuilt, best vintage aircraft etc. The winner will receive a plaque, which will be mailed to you. If you wish to have your aircraft judged, pick up a prop placard from a greeter and be sure to turn it in upon departure.
The FAA has established a temporary "tower" during the fly-in. The "tower" will be 123.8. The "ground" frequency will be 121.75.
We love our neighbors and strongly encourage you to be aware of and follow our "Fly Neighborly" procedures to minimize noise and disruption to our friends. Some highlights are:
- Runway 32 is the preferred runway
- Follow PAPI
- The traffic pattern is 1,000 feet agl (1933 msl) for propellor-driven aircraft.
- Keep traffic pattern legs as short as possible and close to the airport without risking safety.
- See the maps for designated runup areas.
- All turns in the traffic pattern are to the left
Ready to head to the hangar to fly-in. Here's the latest National Weather Service weather data for Lake Elmo Airport.
The breakfast is being held on the South Side of the airport, very near to the airport beacon. Follow the marshals' directions. Here are ground movement maps:
