Crawfish Fly-In 2026 — One for the Books
Crawfish, Airplanes, and a Whole Lot of Purpose
The 2026 Crawfish Boil Fly-In brought the aviation community together for an incredible day of food, flying, and fundraising — all in support of veterans pursuing careers in aviation.
An Incredible Turnout
The energy was unforgettable, and the turnout spoke for itself. Pilots flew in from across the region, families filled the ramp, and every plate of crawfish served went toward funding scholarships for veterans. This is what community in aviation looks like.
Thank You to Our Sponsors
None of this would be possible without the incredible support of our sponsors and vendors: Thrust Flight, ATP Flight School, US Aviation, Spartan Aviation, Four Winds Aviation, Fort Worth Flight School, Time Travel Flight, Bird Dog Aviation, NTX FAA Safety Team, Go Fly Texas, and Greatest Generation Aircraft — who brought their iconic DC-3.
A special thanks to the USA Cheerleaders, Funky Munky Shaved Ice, Steel Hope Lemonade & Popcorn, and Sugar Crow’s custom baked goods for keeping the energy high all day long.
Co-Hosted with Heart
A huge thank you to the Vintage Flying Museum and Gabriel “Gator” Guilbeau for co-hosting this event with us, and to all the dedicated volunteers who keep everything running seamlessly behind the scenes. We appreciate you more than you know.
