Continuing our journey into the heart of eastern Colorado and the Great Plains Region, here’s a cockpit view of the approach to Runway 32 at Holyoke Municipal Airport (KHEQ).

While most people think of steep mountain peaks when they picture Colorado flying, there’s a quiet beauty to the vast open skies and endless horizon of the Great Plains. Holyoke gives you that true classic high plains aviation experience.

Sit back and enjoy the final approach!

It's easy to think of Boulder Airport as just a runway and a few hangars at the edge of town. It's harder to picture what disappears if that runway wasn't there.

Every year, the airport supports tens of millions of dollars in local economic activity: real jobs for mechanics, instructors, and FBO staff, fuel and maintenance spending that stays in Boulder County, and a base for the Medevac helicopter and wildfire response operations the county relies on. None of that shows up automatically. It exists because the airport does.

It's not just infrastructure sitting quietly at the edge of town. It's part of how this community actually functions and stays safe!

Want to see the full picture of what the airport supports? Stop by sometime to get a glimpse of everything that's going on. All are welcome!

Let's take a look at another side of Colorado's incredible and diverse topography out on the rural eastern plains! Here's the cockpit view on final approach to Runway 35 at Wray Municipal Airport (RYA) in Wray, Colorado.

(P.S. Remember how our wide 13mm lens on the Telluride video heavily distorted the perspective of our approach angle and speed, leading to a lot of lively debate in the comments? For this approach into Wray, we used a much more realistic 48mm lens to show how it really looks!)

The Colorado Division of Aeronautics was officially awarded the 2026 Colorado Aviation Hall of Fame Special Recognition Award today for its lasting impact on Colorado’s aviation community!

Colorado Aeronautical Board Member Trimbi Szabo and staff members Shahn Sederberg, Kip McClain, and Hetty Beatty were also on hand to celebrate the achievement.

Check out Colorado’s mobile Aircraft Rescue and Fire Fighting (ARFF) trainer in action during a recent full-scale emergency exercise at Durango-La Plata County Regional Airport (DRO)!

In 2024, the Colorado Aeronautical Board awarded a discretionary aviation grant to the Colorado Department of Fire Prevention & Control to help fund this state-of-the-art mobile unit. Today, it travels across Colorado, providing vital, hands-on emergency training for airport firefighters.

Many aircraft cruise around at 9,078’ MSL. Not in Telluride, CO—this is when they land! Here’s a look at the stunning approach to Runway 9 at Telluride Regional Airport, North America’s highest commercial service airport. NOTE: the wide angle lens used to film this video distorted the perspective of the flight level making the approach appear low and shallow. It was actually right on the glide slope. 😉

Check out the approach to Runway 30R at Rocky Mountain Metropolitan Airport.
