Vinton County Airport - Pilots & Boosters Assoc

The Vinton County Pilots & Boosters Association is an organization composed of people who love airplanes. Some are pilots but many are not. All of us simply have an interest in aviation and flying. Some are aspiring pilots, some are pilots, and then there are others who are interested in other forms of flight. The Association has a president, vice president, treasurer and three trustees. All are elected by the membership in January of each year, and serve without pay. Meetings are held the second Sunday of every month at 1:00 P.M., usually at the airport terminal. Even though the Vinton County Airport is a county airport, it is operated entirely by the Boosters Association without financial assistance from the county. To maintain the property and the structures on it, the Boosters sponsor fund-raising events throughout the spring and summer. The Vinton County Air Show, which is held in September, is the major event of the year. The Ridge Top Music Festival, held in August, is rapidly becoming equally as popular. The Boosters rely on support from the community and from the surrounding area to keep the Vinton County Airport alive. All proceeds from each event go for that purpose. The airport is located north of McArthur, Ohio, 6 miles north of US Route 50 and off State Route 93.
