Grand Canyon National Park Airport
Madison Aviation Airport (GCN)
Tusayan, AZ 86023

When driving to the south rim of the Grand Canyon, be sure to stop by the Grand Canyon National Park Airport (Madison Aviation Airport (GCN)) located approximately 6 miles south of Grand Canyon, Arizona (less than a mile south of the Tusayan) on Highway 64. The airport is home to several Grand Canyon National Park air tour companies that offer fixed wing and helicopter tours of the Grand Canyon National Park. One of these companies, Grand Canyon Airlines, has a vintage 1929 Ford 5-AT-C "Tri-motor" (N414H, s/n 74) on display at their private air terminal. We currently do not have any photos of his aircraft at this location, but were lucky enough to photograph this aircraft when it participated in the re-creation of the 1925-1931 National Air Tours. The photographs below were taken by Skytamer's John Shupek at the Yankee Air Museum, Belleville, Michigan on 25 September 2003.
