BRC Municipal Airport

Black Rock City Municipal Airport by Cyan Samone.

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.
