- * This is a really bad idea. Please, if you want a really crazy party, please do it somewhere else. This not only endangers the partiers (it's their own choice, so I don't care all that much), but also possibly innocent pilots and their passengers. Planes are free to land at Davis at any time, and even for a normal flight at night, this could pose a serious hazard. However, if the pilot is trying to make an emergency landing at Davis (not as odd as it may sound), this party idea could have fatal consequences. If a pilot can't land on the runway, they very well may crash. Depending on the state of the plane and the fuel available, once a plane is on final approach for the runway, that crash could even be into the crowd of partiers. If a VFR (non-instrument) pilot was slated to land at another local airport that is blocked by bad weather (such as happened at Nut Tree in Vacaville a year or so back), Davis may well be one of their backup choices, and if they made some bad decisions, they may be coming in on a very empty tank. An IFR (instrument) pilot would probably just divert to Sac Intl. or Concord, but they are a small minority of the flying population. Most pilots will just go for the closest safe airport. I've flown into Davis at night before, and it would have been really upsetting (to say the least) to find the runway clogged with partiers (although, since it was never an emergency landing, hopefully the results would not have been fatal). I would fully support the police arresting the people involved with planning a party like that. --["EricKlein"] - * Yeah, no shit it was stupid, that's why it doesnt' happen anymore. Perhaps when it was still an annual event, the UCD airport wasn't getting as much traffic. Sorry, I'm a wee bit inebriated. I'll delete this later. -["AbbyLawson"] - * Sorry, I didn't mean to come across so strongly. I was mostly responding to the "So if any other club is up for the job...?" comment. Flying is one of the few things that I actually take really seriously. --["EricKlein"] - * Hey don't worry about it. I meant the line as a joke! I didn't realize the airport was so heavily used and wouldn't have said it had I known earlier. :-) -["AbbyLawson"]	+ * This is a really bad idea.

I think it's extremely cool that you guys are interested enough to come out and stand by the runway and watch people land. I'm sure nearly all of the pilots feel this way when they see people taking pics or whatever. I practically grew up at that airport and it would be a shame to see it gone, so the more people that come out to enjoy it, the better. The Cal Aggie Flying Farmers offers reasonably cheap demo rides if you want to go flying. --["SteveDold"]

In fact, if you want a ride, you could probably just walk up to someone preflighting a plane and say, "Can I come along?" I fly out there about once a month and I'm always happy to have passengers come along for the ride. --["ChrisMoore"]

This not only endangers the partiers (it's their own choice, so I don't care all that much), but also possibly innocent pilots and their passengers. Planes are free to land at Davis at any time, and even for a normal flight at night, this could pose a serious hazard. However, if the pilot is trying to make an emergency landing at Davis (not as odd as it may sound), this party idea could have fatal consequences. If a pilot can't land on the runway, they very well may crash. Depending on the state of the plane and the fuel available, once a plane is on final approach for the runway, that crash could even be into the crowd of partiers. If a VFR (non-instrument) pilot was slated to land at another local airport that is blocked by bad weather (such as happened at Nut Tree in Vacaville a year or so back), Davis may well be one of their backup choices, and if they made some bad decisions, they may be coming in on a very empty tank. An IFR (instrument) pilot would probably just divert to Sac Intl. or Concord, but they are a small minority of the flying population. Most pilots will just go for the closest safe airport. I've flown into Davis at night before, and it would have been really upsetting (to say the least) to find the runway clogged with partiers (although, since it was never an emergency landing, hopefully the results would not have been fatal). I would fully support the police arresting the people involved with planning a party like that. --["EricKlein"] + * Yeah, no shit it was stupid, that's why it doesnt' happen anymore. Perhaps when it was still an annual event, the UCD airport wasn't getting as much traffic. Sorry, I'm a wee bit inebriated.

In fact, many airports actually have a designated parking lot/park area where people can sit and watch the planes.

You can park by the bee center and walk right out onto a closed section of road between a field and the dirt end of the runway field.
