Chico (KCIC)

CHICO Regional Airport (ICAO: KCIC), formerly known as Chico Municipal Airport, is four miles (6 km) north of Chico, in Butte County, California, USA. The airport covers 1,475 acres (6.0 km2), has two runways. Its fixed-base operator, Northgate Aviation provides fuel, maintenance, flight training, and charter flights.

"Top Gun: Maverick" was filmed in the foothills outside Chico in July 2019 for the final scenes between the F-14 and two SU-57's, which was performed using two L-39's and CGI. The film crew spent 10 days filming and secretly used the Chico Airport for a staging area.

Don't miss the CHICO AIR MUSEUM. The museum has a number of aircraft, artifacts and exhibits on display in a WW II era hangar that was originally part of the Chico Army Airfield (and once owned and operated by Aero Union). There is also an outside static display area.

From the SPAD XIII from World War 1 to the Antonov AN-2 Russian Biplane, enjoy the collection which spans nearly 100 years of aviation history!
