Falcon Field Airports Cockpit Close-up edition for the month of October is about to get scary with the inaugural Haunted Hangar family event.

On Saturday, Oct. 26, from 8 a.m. to 11 a.m., families are invited to join us at Falcon Field West World War II Hangar, located at 4626 E Fighter Aces Drive.

Falcon Field Airport has a rich history, dating back to its establishment in 1941 as a British training base for cadets during World War II. The hangar, where the event will take place, holds significant historical value and houses vintage aircraft that will be on display. With the Halloween season in full swing, the hangar will be transformed into a spooky yet family-friendly place for everyone to enjoy.
