HOMEBASE
THADEN FIELD, BENTONVILLE ARKANSAS (VBT)
Who are we? We’re a basecamp for your next aerial adventure, a portal to backcountry flying in the Ozarks, and a gathering place for all that love aviation. Based at Louise M. Thaden Field in Bentonville, Arkansas, ICAO Identifier (VBT), Thaden Field is the hub of Arkansas’ FLY OZ network, Summit Aviation’s fix base operation, home of Game Composites, and FLY OZ Club’s “hideout”.
The FIELDHOUSE shelters a flight school, an exhibition hangar, an FAA knowledge testing center, scenic flights, discovery flights, lawn games, fuel, provisions, and a full service, full menu at cafe LOUISE. In spring you’ll be able to rent a canoe and paddle out on Lake Bentonville.
