Flint Hills Flyers Airport
Flint Hills Flyers is based in north central Kansas with a
landing strip and hangar located 4 miles east of Riley,
Kansas. The Flint Hills Flyers club is a local chapter of
the National Antique Airplane Association. Approximately 20
members claim antiques according to the national ranking
specifications.
To qualify as an antique an aircraft must be more than 30
years old. Planes that date between 1946 to present are
considered "classics". Those built from 1931 to 1941 are
called "antiques", while aircraft that date from 1930 and
earlier fall under the "pioneer" category.
