More than 300 people attend sold-out Father’s Day Weekend Fly-In BBQ at Nashua Airport

A rainy morning couldn’t wash out a great event!

Despite early showers, the Aviation Museum’s annual Father’s Day Weekend Fly-In BBQ, held Saturday, June 14 at Boire Field in Nashua, drew more than 300 people.

The event, a fund-raiser for the non-profit Aviation Museum, also attracted a wide range of aircraft, including a 1943 Widgeon amphibious airplane.

The event was generously sponsored by host Nashua Jet Aviation, which donated use of the hangar space, and Maine Instrument Flight. The BBQ was supplied by Celebrations Catering.

The N.H. Wing of the Commemorative Air Force was also on hand, as was the Civil Air Patrol, which provided invaluable volunteer help.

Many thanks to the Nashua Airport Authority for making this annual event possible.

And finally, thanks to the many Aviation Museum volunteers who set up tables and chairs, staffed our store, greeted guests, kept everyone safe on the ramp, and so much more!

Although the BBQ was sold out prior to the event, many families visited just to visit the ramp and see the airplanes. Below are a few photos from volunteer Norm Beaudette.

Final results aren’t in yet, but the event raised several thousand dollars for the non-profit Aviation Museum’s youth education programs.

Join us next time! Our next Father’s Day Fly-In BBQ is scheduled for Saturday, June 20, 2026.
