EAA Airventure Museum To Celebrate Aviation's Golden Age This
Weekend
The EAA AirVenture Museum and Pioneer Airport revisits the
excitement of the Roaring Twenties on September 4-5 with the annual
"Good Ol’ Days" celebration of what’s known by many as
the "Golden Age of Aviation." Activities include barnstorming
flying events like "pants racing" and "aerial golf"; learning Morse
Code with Pioneer Airport’s telegram system; flying in
vintage airplanes such as the 1929 Ford Tri-Motor, 1929 Travel Air
E-4000 or the 1927 Spirit of St. Louis replica; creating a piece of
air mail and have it flown in a vintage aircraft; or riding in a
variety of vintage automobiles from the 1920s-1940s.

the Children's Miracle Network, a non-profit organization dedicated
to helping kids by raising funds for 170 children's hospitals
across North America. Organized by balloon pilot, skydiver, and
Wisconsin Rapids lawyer, John Symonds, the event has raised over
$20,000 for use in Central Wisconsin.
