Throughout the year, the Airport hosts the Sports Car Club of America rallies for Central Pennsylvania. During times of the rallies, NOTAMs are posted.

If you are planning to fly into the airport during the car rallies, it’s not a problem. The airport is not closed during the rallies. SCCA and airport personnel are equipped with radios to know when aircraft are approaching.

If you are flying in to watch the rally, we suggest back taxiing on RW-24 from the runway intersection and parking to the left of the runway.

About the Unique Topography Surrounding Mid-State Airport

Excerpt from Ben Cramer’s Guide to the Allegheny Front Trail, 2nd edition:

“On a topographic map of Pennsylvania, the Allegheny Front is a very dramatic feature. This abrupt uprising in the landscape marks the boundary between the parallel valleys and sharp-backed ridges of the aptly named Ridge and Valley Province to the south and east, and the high jumbled hills of the Allegheny Plate to the north and west. Passengers on commuter flights traveling eastbound toward University Park will see a gently rolling landscape plunging dramatically into Bald Eagle Valley while pilots flying in the other direction face a steep forested wall of dimension seen in few other places east of the Mississippi.” (p. 8)
