Comments:
The National Air Tour will arrive and depart the Birmingham area from Bessemer Airport.

Since our first contact with the terrific people of Bessemer we have been very impressed. We would like to publicly thank the Bessemer Airport Authority for their outstanding hospitality.

A few years ago, one of the organizers of the National Air Tour 2003 made an unscheduled stop at the Bessemer airport. He found the people exceptionally friendly and the city to be truly great place. When it came time to select an airport for the 2003 tour, we chose Bessemer -- a wise choice once again!

Thanks to each and every one of you!

Please note that arrivals may extend over a period of up to three hours beginning with the estimated time shown.
