Spruce Creek has no regularly scheduled service, and is a private airport limited to locally based aircraft and invited visitors. The most common aircraft flying at Spruce Creek are Beechcraft Bonanzas and Barons and Vans RVs, but a healthy mix of any modern (and not so modern) General Aviation aircraft fly at Spruce Creek. Notable aircraft based at the Creek include two P-51 Mustangs, a Fokker DR.1 and Sopowith Camel team, a SIAI-Marchetti SF.260 and a formation display team of Swearingen SX-300s. The largest concentration of flying occurs every Saturday morning, when the "Gaggle Flight" (a group of aircraft that ranges in number between 25 and 50 planes) flies out for Breakfast and returns two or three hours later. A number of organized formation teams exist at the Creek, and can be seen practicing together at almost any time (although the weekends are by far the busiest.) | Spruce Creek has no regularly scheduled service, and is a private airport limited to locally based aircraft and invited visitors.

Spruce Creek is only accessible by automobile. Once inside the Creek, most taxiways are listed as "aircraft only", but a number of dual use taxiways can get you to the approved spotting areas listed above. Most Spruce Creek residents get around either by bicycle or golf cart, but the entire runway/taxiway complex can be explored by foot as well. When traveling at Spruce Creek, remember to remain clear of the active runway, and that aircraft have the right of way on any taxiway at all times. | Spruce Creek is only accessible by automobile.
