Take Flight for Kids: Airline Aviator

If you're a kid who fantasized about sprouting wings and taking flight then don't miss out on the Hiller Aviation Museum's Take Flight for Kids programs. Take Flight programs are half-day adventures into the world of aviation for elementary-aged students in Grades 1-5. Sessions are scheduled on select weekend and holiday dates throughout the year and include the following: Hands-on construction of flying model aircraft; Exclusive behind-the-scenes cockpit explorations in Museum aircraft; And a special flight simulation experience in the Flight Sim Zone.

At Airline Aviator on September 18th, kids will enter the Museum's 737, 747 and SST cockpits and learn airliner identification while building a detailed scale model of a modern commercial aircraft. Join in and take the controls of a massive Boeing 747 in the flight simulators and attempt a landing at San Francisco International Airport.

For more information please visit the Hiller Aviation Museum Website.
