I've had the opportunity to attend and photograph at the Apple Valley Airshow for the past few years. Its a small show that packs a BIG PUNCH. Susie and her crew do a great job at getting a nice mix of show aircraft as well as organizing a car show and the many vendors and static displays. Whats great about this show is the amazing landscape behind the aircraft making photos awesome. It feels like a big show with a down home community atmosphere. I highly recommend going and is VERY, family friendly. read more

Great show this year, 2023. Sadly, even though it was strongly and repeatedly stated that beach umbrellas and pop ups wouldn't be allowed people ignored the rules. read more

Great airport. It has a big fat 18-36 runway and access to fuel that is extremely convenient. The terminal and pilot's lounge and user friendly. Finally, the restrooms are clean. After landing at Hesperia, my student couldn't find a restroom so he let loose his yellow jetstream on the side of an abandoned observation tower. Soon after a security guard arrived and tried to rightfully pin the blame on my student, who blamed the wizardry on a coyote. The guard was not fooled. "Yeah, a coyote, obviously an extremely tall coyote with the bladder of a mule, presently no where to be found, and one that is [sniff, sniff] apparently quite fond of asparagus." read more

Came here because 3rd Generation Tacos was established inside. It is however a very clean and well kept airport from the looks of things. There is a nice picnic/ Bbq area with two built in grills adjacent to the main building. It looks to be a very small municipal airport. read more

Parking and signage at the air show today was awful; no signs telling where to park or that there was only one entrance and then don't get me started on the ridiculous lines for food and drinks. Got all the way to the front of a lemonade stand, only to find out they were out of lemonade and I was in line a good 20 minutes before the air show called it halftime, ha This must have been their first rodeo or something. Pretty sure I'm never going back. read more

The 2015 Apple Valley air show was a blast! This was our first time attending. Adults are $5, kids under 12 are free. There's plenty of free parking. This was an awesome event for a low price. The only caveat is that you are in the middle of nowhere, hot, thirsty, and hungry. They are smart and know you will spend money on all of the food and concession stands! Pro tip: bring sunscreen and folding chairs! We couldn't stand the heat any longer, so we stopped at the Snowie stand first. For $5, we got a large icee and added our own flavors. Our favorites were lemon-lime, pina colada, and watermelon. It was cooling and refreshing and really hit the spot. There were two announcers doing a play-by-play for each pilot that was performing stunts for the crowd. They were telling us interesting tidbits about each plane - one of them flies equally well upside down or right side up! Different planes and pilots performed various maneuvers to entertain the crowd. Some of the planes would fly straight up towards the sun, stall, then fall back down to earth before recovering excitingly at the last second! We also saw numerous barrel rolls and spins. There were lots of activities available, including rock climbing, bounce house, and plane and car displays. My son and I took a neat picture with a helicopter! I got a $5 lemonade from a lemonade stand and it wasn't worth it - it was mostly ice! I also paid $4 for a cold hot dog. The overpriced food didn't dampen the experience though. The plane stunts were quite entertaining, and after all, that's what we were there for. read more

Great place to hang out & watch planes take-off & land. The restaurant is closed, so pack a picnic basket & watch from the semi covered grassy bbq area. FREE WIFI, really clean restrooms!! Don't laugh, I took a photo of the commode because I like the revolving seat cover at the push of a button. I belong to The Apple Valley Fit Club, Gary is a Health Coach with P90X. We currently walk 3 miles in the vicinity of the Airport.every Tuesday Gathering between 6pm & 6:30p The Airport has their own stray who definitely keeps a watchful eye out. He will give you that :Why are you talking to me, you idiot" look when you greet him/her. Next door to the South is Chp Aviation Unit, North is Midfield Aviation & further North west is the Walmart Logistics Facility (warehouse to us simple minded) read more

Always a blast for an air show or when it's IFR down the hill it's always sunny up the hill .. remember no ATC service and close out your flight plan . You'll have a great time . read more

The airport was clean and nice but kind of a ghost town. It has great potential. First build a decent restaurant. One that is big enough to seat your customers. That little place you have now will never make it. Even if the food and service are great they can't seat everyone. Forget outdoor seating the weather is not consistantly good enough for that. Spend some money and build a decent restaurant, the people will fly in or drive in if it's good. Look to any of the Mollie's restaurants or Spirit River Cafe or your neighboring airports with good restaurants but you need a decent restaurant. One that seats more than 12 people. You are potentially the best lil' airport and cafe around. I've been to other airport restaurants and even seen celebrities fly in to eat. "If you build it, they will come." Please build a decent restaurant.... read more

Would have given it 5 stars but the restaurant is closed and it doesn't say that on the website. Wish I would have known. Very clean building and restrooms for this little place in the middle of nowhere where read more

My family and I were looking forward to this until we got there and it took 40 minutes for them to get us parked! Sooo unnecessary! With the rude little man yelling at people while they are trying to park! People walking in were staring at your "employee" yelling at everyone! We just wanted to leave. No way are we spending money at a place that makes things so complicated for no reason. We had to ask 4 different people directing traffic how to exit the place!! So frickin ridiculous we wasted our time read more

When I was flying on a regular basis, I used Midfield Aviation. Nice people.

I came to Apple Valley airport to buy an airplane that was hangered there not at Midfield Aviation end . I went to airport cafe' and lobby to get on their wifi. I was treated very rudely by airport security and by the airport manager Cyle Woodruff . He came up to me while I was midway through eating my meal and started harrassing me with no introduction of who he was. I would have knocked his ass out for much . He had no right to corner me like he did. So if you want to get harrassed then by all means go there . read more
