 Planning is underway for the return of the Midnight Sun Fly In in July 2023! We look forward to welcoming new and returning guests to Yellowknife next summer. Save the dates, subscribe to our newsletter, and plan ahead to join us for this popular event.
The Midnight Sun Fly In Association regrets to announce that Covid-19 restrictions in the Northwest Territories will prevent the hosting of a 2022 Midnight Sun Fly In. Leisure travel to the Northwest Territories remains prohibited with no relaxation anticipated over the next few months. The next Midnight Sun Fly In has been tentatively scheduled for July 6 to 9, 2023. We hope to welcome new and returning visitors then and wish everyone good health and safety in the interim.  The Midnight Sun Fly In Association regrets to announce that the 2021 Midnight Sun Fly In cannot proceed due to Covid-19 restrictions. The ability to welcome visiting pilots and aircraft from across North America is central to the success and popularity of the Midnight Sun Fly In. At the present time, the Canadian border is closed to international travel, the Northwest Territories border is closed to almost everyone except residents and essential workers, and a 14-day isolation requirement applies to almost anyone permitted entry. Indoor/outdoor gathering limits and food service restrictions are also in effect. The combined effect of these measures, while protecting public safety, render it impossible to host a 2021 Fly In. Now for some good news... plans are already underway for the return of the Midnight Sun Fly In in July 2022!  Planning is underway for the 2021 Midnight Sun Fly In to be held in Yellowknife, NT from July 8 - 11, 2021. Float, amphibious and wheel planes welcome.  Here's the Activity Program for the 2019 Midnight Sun Fly In! Tickets are still on sale for the Saturday and Sunday evening dinners and entertainment.
The Midnight Sun Fly In is made posible by the generous support of our corporate sponsors. Thanks so much to the businesses that are participating as 2019 sponsors.

Photos from the 2017 Midnight Sun Fly In have been posted in our photo gallery. We're also working on a special digital photo collection for sponsors and registrants. The Northwest Territories Floatplane Association will be hosting a fly-out picnic for the Midnight Sun Fly In on Saturday, July 8, 2017. The destination will be Desperation Lake, which is 56 nautical miles east of Yellowknife. Fly In registrants are invited to join us there any time after 11:00 am for smokies and great conversation. Sign up at the registration desk to obtain coordinates for the site.  The 2017 Midnight Sun Fly In is almost here and the host committee is in the throes of last-minute preparations. We couldn't pull off this exciting event without the generous support and assistance of our sponsors, so we'd like to thank them all in advance and invite them to join in the activities over the weekend.  Shaw Direct, a generous sponsor of the Midnight Sun Fly In, will have special deals and giveaways at its tent at the Fly In this weekend. Remember to stop by!  The Canadian Arctic Aviation Tour 2017 plans to present an aerobatic airshow over Back Bay in Yellowknife on Sunday, July 9, 2017. This event is being coordinated with the schedule and activities of the 2017 Midnight Sun Fly In but is not organized or produced by the Midnight Sun Fly In Association. It looks like an exciting spectator event! Pilots attending the 2017 Midnight Sun Fly In should be aware that YZF airpsace will be restricted on Sunday, July 9, 2017 from 1:30 pm to 4:00 pm local time to accommodate this airshow, as detailed in the NOTAM reproduced below.
