Porterville Airport (PTV)
Porterville Municipal Airport (PTV) is a great destination to fly, or the right place to learn to fly, but it's also a terrific place to meet interesting people and get to see innovative aircraft... both production and experimental alike. The inviting atmosphere at the airfield restaurant gives you the feeling of belonging, a lot of business is conducted over a cup of coffee and good meal.
“For fifty years the Airport has not let me down. It is great flying. I have trained many students and there is no better classroom for flight training than the Porterville Municipal Airport.” Lennard Patton, Airport CFI

"After flying Airshows for over twenty years I still enjoy the Porterville size show the best. Everything is more personal and everyone feels like it's more "their show". The planes and pilots are accessible to the public, so great pictures and autographs are easy to get. These shows are always a great day of family fun at an affordable price."
Wayne Handley, Airshow Performer
