Because this is a working airport and we’re understaffed, we’ll be sure to keep them busy until they find their owners! Kentucky Department of Aviation do these two meet the minimums for your helicopter position?!

This V-22 Osprey landed at Capital City Airport this morning. It can takeoff, land and hover like a helicopter. Once airborne, it can convert to an airplane. It’s always amazing to watch this aircraft fly.

Friends and family gathered at the Capital City Airport this morning to say farewell to the Soldiers assigned to B Company, 2nd Battalion, 147th Aviation Regiment of the Kentucky Army National Guard. The UH-60 “Blackhawk” helicopter unit is headed to Fort Hood, Texas where they will prepare for their deployment overseas. They will deploy to the Middle East this summer and are expected to spend nine months overseas. We honor these aviation soldiers as they answer our nation's call and we wish them safe travels.

We repositioned the seaplane from Capital City Airport to Blue Grass Airport with a recon of Taylorsville Lake . The lake had a lot of debris, so we did not land on the water.
We were taking N19D seaplane from Blue Grass Airport to Capital City Airport (Kentucky) Capital City Airport for an oil change at Flight Fixins. The conditions were IMC.
