If the recent discovery of the American-made Curtiss Kittyhawk P-40 in the Sahara Dessert has piqued your interest in fighter planes and World War II, you're in luck. Ricky, an avid history buff, is eager to share his extensive World War II knowledge along with an interactive fighter plane simulation. His tour will take you back to a time that will "live in infamy." You'll learn about the rapid-fire technological advances that seemed to improve the fighter planes monthly. With the help of ACES flight simulation, you'll sit in the pilot's seat to experience a simulated dog fight with your fellow tour participants. This is one tour you don't want to miss.
Erik's Minnesota Adventures is an innovative program for young adults with autism. As experience guides, they will lead volunteers on tours, providing an opportunity for them to share their unique talents and expertise in specific areas within the arts, history, sports, environment – whatever their passion.
Each tour in the Twin Cities metro invites six to 30 volunteers to participate in adventures, such as accompanying a skilled equestrian to the racetrack for a private session with a jockey or learning about St. Paul's architecture from a young man with a photographic memory.
