When the El Reno Regional Airport held its inaugural Community Day and Fly-In a year ago, the turnout of more than 2,000 people caught many by surprise.

Airport Manager Adam Fox said to expect an even larger turnout for this year’s event set for Sept. 25.

Fox said a month before the Second Annual Community Day and Fly-In, there are already pilots from multiple surrounding states signed up to take part. Last year, more than 80 aircraft flew in for the daylong celebration of aviation.
