Council Bluffs Municipal Airport

The B-17 shown is NOT a resident at CB Airport, but a rare guest at the Commemorative Air Force hangar/Museum next door to a great FLIGHT SCHOOL run by Advanced Air! The CAF DOES HAVE the P-51 "Gunfighter" arguably the BEST Known WW2 fighter plane in the world TODAY! This Mustang in the Great Plains Wing of the CAF is in books, magazines, and on calendars all over the World! Rides are available in the Mustang AND an AT-6 WW2 Trainer, when those planes are not at airshows! General aviation aircraft are available to rent or lease in the terminal. Other WW1 and WW2 vintage aircraft can sometimes be found in the CAF hangar across the parking lot from Advanced Air. BTW there's a NEW F.B.O., Carver Aero for the airport, exciting things are happening, and while you may only see a B-17 in Council Bluffs, once every five years(!?) the GPW-CAF MUSEUM has thousands of items to see, when their member volunteers are there Saturday morning, or Wed. evening. The CAF also hosts an annual fly-in to Council Bluffs airport with a pancake breakfast, AND monthly "burger burns," otherwise like everything else at the airport (unless you're Flying) VISITING and going to WATCH AIRPLANES, parking is FREE! Great place for kids to watch airplanes, especially on Saturdays when the Advance Air flight school is at its peak, at the 3rd busiest airport in the state of IOWA!

Very clean facilities and friendly staff

Came out to watch the P-51 Mustang from the Commemorative Air Force. Very cool! The airport has such great facilities and was just modernized. Great place to visit!

My wife and I flew into KCBF Easter Sunday to attend church and have dinner with our daughter and her family. On this holiday Sunday, we were the only airplane on the ramp. We appreciated the personal welcome and service received from the airport manager.

I really like this airport. Advanced Air is well run and offers charter, a flight school, maintenence, and avionics. It also has good fuel prices and a self-serve pump. A great place to learn to fly!
