This is the first time that the New Mexico Spaceport Authority (NMSA) will open up the spaceport to this kind of event. The spaceport currently has over 5, 000 annual visitors that see the spaceport by taking one of the weekly publ ic bus tours. Holding a fly-in event like this was a result of the growing number of requests from private pilots to fly into the spaceport to take a tour.\nThis inaugural Private Pilots Fly-in Event will mark the start of a recurring opportunity for private pilots to land at Spaceport America.\n“We are really excited to let private pilots and their passengers have a chanc e to fly-in and tour the spaceport,” said NMSA Executive Director Christine Anderson. “Hosting special events like this, throughout the year, gives us a new way to open up the spaceport to more visitors, creating a new kind o f tourism at the spaceport. This fly-in is the first in a series of events that will be taking place in the coming weeks and months leading to a new, exciting Spaceport America Visitor Experience, designed to delight visitors as well as to expand and grow the spaceport’s tourism business,” said Ande rson.\nThe February 14th event will be open to the first ten pilots that re gister. This special fly-in event will include a private NMSA tour of the s paceport and lunch for ten pilots and their passengers.
