Incredible day, very informative and great museum. My son flew and the memories will last a lifetime - Great day, very informative. We learned so much about the plane and how it was built and maintained. My son took the flight and cant say enough, it was amazing! We also enjoyed the extensive personal museum collection. Thank you, money well spent making memories.

PT-19 Flight - A friendly volunteer met me in the parking lot, showed me some museum highlights and status of ongoing work on historic aircraft in the hangar. The weather was perfect, and the pilot of the PT-19 was fun, interesting, very competent, and informative. I'd never flown in an open cockpit, tail wheel aircraft and it was a fantastic and memorable experience!

Historically fun Flight experience - The pilot and volunteers were very knowledgeable and professional, and fun. Made us feel very comfortable and reassured us of safety. Rode in the Fairchild PT-19 and was able to fly the plane during our 30 minutes flight. It was such a great experience. We'll return, for sure.
