Falcon Field Airport in Mesa is coordinating with aircraft owners to host Cockpit Close-Up, a free community event 8-10 a.m. on the first Saturday of each month.

It features volunteer pilots based at Falcon Field and their private aircraft.

The next Cockpit Close-Up will be on Nov. 4 at the airport terminal building, 4800 E. Falcon Drive in Mesa. The featured pilots will be adult and youth members of Civil Air Patrol Falcon Squadron 305.

The event will also feature information about Falcon Field Airport and the Civil Air Patrol program.

Civil Air Patrol is a private, nonprofit 501(c) humanitarian organization and is the auxiliary of the U.S. Air Force. CAP members are civilian volunteers although the organization and uniforms are modeled after the U.S. Air Force.

Falcon Field includes a total of 784 acres between Greenfield, Higley, McDowell and McKellips roads in northeast Mesa. There are currently more than 800 aircraft based at Falcon Field. This includes fixed-wing single- and multi-engine aircraft, turboprops, jets and helicopters, according to falconfieldairport.com.
