Departures on Saturday August 18th will be one of two options. If you completed your aerobatic flight on Thursday the 16th, you are free to depart whenever you’d like and will want to take the hotel shuttle to the SEA airport in accordance with your flight time.

If August 18th is the date of your aerobatic flight, you will want to schedule your flights home for the afternoon once your aerobatic flight is complete. Please speak with us before booking your flight home. (All participants will be advised if their aerobatic flight is on the 16th or 18th well before the start of the course).
