Why Register?
For nearly 30 years, the Kanab Fly-In has remained a relaxed, informal gathering of friends who share a passion for Rutan aircraft. As attendance has grown, so has the amount of coordination happening behind the scenes.
This year we've introduced a small registration fee to help offset the organizational costs of hosting the event while keeping it affordable for everyone. Your registration helps us plan meals, seating, airport activities, volunteer support, and all the details that help the weekend run smoothly.
Great news—we filled every room in our specially priced block at Comfort Suites!
Reservations already made through the group link will retain the special rate and cancellation policy. The group booking link is no longer valid, but rooms may still be available directly through the hotel.
If you still need lodging, please book directly with Comfort Suites as soon as possible. New reservations will be subject to current pricing, availability, and the hotel’s standard cancellation policy.
The Turner Classic Timed Event is one of the highlights of the Rutan Fly-In. You can run the course to see how fast you can go and maybe even earn bragging rights until next year!
The City of Kanab is a huge supporter of our fly-in. They look forward to our visit every year, and they provide a lot for us. The airport has been continuously improving throughout 2026, and they have even more space than before in addition to a new fuel farm.
Kanab, Utah is the ultimate "Little Hollywood" basecamp for Southern Utah. From the air or ground, you can see iconic slot canyons, cinematic geological formations, and world-renowned parks like Zion National Park, Bryce Canyon National Park and the Grand Canyon North Rim.
BEYOND BLUE SKY: The Untold Story of the First Private Astronauts
Please join us Sunday at 2 PM at The Redstone Theater for a special screening of “Beyond Blue Sky: The Untold Story of the First Private Astronauts” with Director Kevin Curran. This event is sponsored by Black Sky Composites, LLC to give us a big discount on tickets. Get out of the heat for the afternoon and come see this documentary filled with historic interviews!
If you've attended the Kanab Fly-In over the past several years, you've probably met Hannah and Jacob—or at least seen them with cameras in hand.
What began as two young aviation enthusiasts taking pictures of unique homebuilt aircraft has grown into something much more. Hannah and Jacob have become an important part of our fly-in family, capturing the people, airplanes, and memories that make Kanab so special. Their beautiful photographs and incredible banquet slideshow have become a tradition many of us look forward to each year, preserving moments we'll treasure for years to come.
Their passion for aviation extends well beyond photography. From building model airplanes and flying radio-controlled aircraft to spending time at their local airport watching airplanes come and go, they've developed a genuine love of flying and aerodynamics. Inspired by the many pilots who have generously shared their time, encouragement, and even airplane rides over the years, both Hannah and Jacob are now pursuing their Private Pilot Certificates.
Hannah hopes to complete her flight training before the end of the summer, with Jacob planning to follow soon after. If you'd like to help support the next generation of aviators—and say thank you for everything they've contributed to our community—we invite you to learn more about their journey.
