Montrose, CO—Montrose Regional Airport (MTJ) announced today the cancellation of the 2024 Tribute to Aviation event due to unforeseen global circumstances that could impact the participation of military aircraft.
The Tribute to Aviation is a highly anticipated community event showcasing a stunning display of military and civilian aircraft. Military participation is a cornerstone of the event, offering attendees a unique opportunity to see these impressive machines up close.
“The decision to cancel this year’s Tribute to Aviation was not an easy one,” said Montrose County Director of Aviation Lloyd Arnold. “Global events may affect our ability to secure the military presence that is such a central part of the event experience. We wouldn’t want to disappoint our community with a scaled-back version of this popular event.”
While disappointed about the 2024 cancellation, MTJ is already looking forward to next year. “We are committed to bringing back a bigger and better Tribute to Aviation in 2025,” said Arnold. “We are actively planning and will work diligently to secure a diverse range of military and civilian aircraft for the next event.”
The Montrose Regional Airport extends its gratitude to the community for its ongoing support of the Tribute to Aviation.
“We appreciate the incredible enthusiasm for the Tribute to Aviation,” said Arnold. “We look forward to celebrating aviation with our community again in 2025.”
