Black Rock Playa

Black Rock Playa, 2021 Sticker by Cyan Samone.

Since the Burn was canceled the BLM put further restrictions on the Playa including no planes landing like it was allowed in 2020. The graphic represents just a flyover the Playa.

Black Rock City Municipal Airport rises from dust each August to serve Black Rock Citizens for 13 days, then disappears without a trace. Volunteers each year build the airport and city from scratch, then tear them down at week’s end. Formally known as 88NV, the airport has a control tower, landing strip, customs and immigration, and a pirate flag flying above it all. During its busiest periods this week, when it serves both Burners arriving by air and scenic flights, the airport will average as many as 800 takeoffs and landings.
