🤝 "It's sort of a reunion in a way." 🛩️

Historic WWII-era aircraft filled the air over Dubuque last week as the North American Trainer Association (NATA) returned to the Dubuque Regional Airport (DBQ) for its annual formation flight training before EAA AirVenture in Oshkosh, Wisconsin.

The 4-day event is used to sharpen the precision and teamwork required for safe formation flying. Along the way, many of these pilots also get the chance to reconnect with longtime friends, share their passion for aviation, and experience the hospitality of the Dubuque community.

Thanks for making Dubuque part of your journey, NATA. Safe travels, and we'll see you again next year!

Eyes on the skies, Dubuque!

The North American Trainer Association (NATA) is back in Dubuque this weekend, bringing World War II-era military aircrafts to the Dubuque Regional Airport (DBQ) for formation flight training before heading to Oshkosh, Wisconsin for the Experimental Aircraft Association (EAA) AirVenture event.

Whether you're catching them from your backyard or stopping by the airport's observation area, it's a sight you might want to fly by and see. There is no set schedule, but optimal viewing times for spectators are expected to be between 10 a.m. and 6 p.m. each day through Monday, July 20.

Welcome back to Dubuque, NATA! 👋

North American Trainer Association Returns to Dubuque Regional Airport

The Dubuque Regional Airport (DBQ) will host members of the North American Trainer Association (NATA) as they bring historical aircraft to the airport beginning Thursday, July 16, through Monday, July 20. An estimated 40 World War II era AT-6 Texans will gather for their annual pre-Experimental Aircraft Association (EAA) AirVenture formation practice and qualification. Other WWII era military training aircraft will include P-51 Mustangs and Corsairs. They will operate from the general aviation apron.

NATA is celebrating its 40th year in 2026. The association has nearly 1,000 members worldwide. The first “formation clinic” was held in Boscobel, Wis., and has traveled to various Midwest locations since. Dubuque has been home to NATA’s annual clinic for the past 20 years. The gathering serves as a warm-up for the group’s participation in the EAA AirVenture event in nearby Oshkosh, Wis.

Although the formation clinic is private and the airport ramp will be closed to the public, there is an observation area off Aviation Drive near the Captain Robert L. Martin Terminal for the public to view the aircraft. There is no set schedule, but optimal viewing times for spectators are expected to be between 10 a.m. and 6 p.m. each day. Observers are encouraged to bring lawn chairs, drinking water, and plenty of sunscreen.

Additional scheduling notes will be communicated through the airport’s social media channels.
