Guests will be able to watch flight demonstrations, weather permitting, featuring flybys by AAM’s
vintage military aircraft that played pivotal roles in America’s WWII victories. Guests can also take flights on AAM’s 1939 Red Waco UPF-7 Biplane, plus two North American AT-6D Texans. Guests can take living history flight experiences, weather permitting.
