Once again this late summer, desolate Nevada berg Black Rock City finds itself home to thousands of artists, freaks and spectators for the remarkably quirky festival known as Burning Man (Aug. 29 to Sept. 5), which culminates each year with the eponymous torching of a huge human effigy.
There are, it goes without saying, a goodly number of VW micro buses that arrive on site for the spectacle; it might surprise you, however, to know that every year dozens of airplanes fly into Burning Man’s temporary airport, Black Rock City International Airport, located adjacent to the event grounds on the surface of the dry lake bed.
