When two World War 2 fighter pilots returned home, they wanted to keep flying. So they did. By turning a plot of farm land into something that would stay in the family for generations, Ranchaero Airport was born.

A small but mighty private airport has made Chico a destination for pilots and aviation enthusiasts for three generations. Family-owned and operated, our current generation knew there was more than meets the eye at Ranchaero.

With love, determination, and a whole lot of elbow grease, we’re excited to introduce our newly renovated space, The Hangar.

A vintage space with modern touches that can be transformed into a beautiful backdrop, we’d love for you to add to the ever-growing history of our property.
