Flagstaff Local Frequency: Airport Incident, New Housing, and Weekend Adventures
Published 1 month, 2 weeks ago
Description
Good morning, this is your Flagstaff Local Frequency for Saturday, March 7, 2026.
We start today with a developing story at Flagstaff Pulliam Airport, where a small private aircraft flipped while taxiing on a taxiway. Two people were on board, both were extricated and taken for treatment after sustaining injuries, and emergency crews quickly secured the scene. Early reports suggest jet wash from a nearby aircraft may have played a role, though the cause is still under investigation and operations were briefly interrupted before resuming.
In housing news, Flagstaff just saw the opening of Sierra on 66, a new 221 unit affordable housing community along Route 66. The development serves households earning up to about 60 percent of the area median income, with one, two, and three bedroom apartments. Rents use a fixed structure that includes all utilities, from electricity and water to sewer and trash, offering cost predictability to working families. Residents also get access to a fitness center, kids tot lot, dog run, bocce ball court, and outdoor patios with fire pits, reflecting Flagstaffs push to pair affordability with quality of life.
If you are looking for things to do today, the Greater Flagstaff Chamber of Commerce calendar is packed. There is a First Friday style hike at Slide Rock kicking off the weekend outdoors, a workshop on diversifying funding and partnerships for artists and nonprofits, the Tuba City Humane Society adoption event at Flagstaff Mall if you are thinking about adding a furry friend, and a Winter Wine Down gathering for those who prefer a cozy, social afternoon in town.
Up on the mountain, Arizona Snowbowl is leaning into March as prime spring riding. The second annual Snow Jamz on mountain music festival runs today and tomorrow, with live music and DJs across multiple lodges, so you can ski a run and then slide straight into a dance break. Snowbowl is also hosting the Southern Belle Showdown rail jam today in the terrain park, an 18 and older contest focused on style, progression, and community vibes.
Sports fans should keep an eye on Northern Arizona University, where director of cross country and track and field Jarred Cornfield was just named Big Sky mens and womens coach of the year after a title sweep, and elite collegiate divers will be arriving soon for the NCAA Zone E Championships at the Wall Aquatic Center.
This has been Flagstaff Local Frequency. We'll see you tomorrow with more local updates.
