Unique Progressive Fly-In To Be Held Across Central
Florida
An interesting "Progressive Fly-IN"
will start next month, on Saturday, December 6th, 2003. The event
starts with a special progressive Formation Flight starting at 8:30
am with coffee and donuts at the VAC's Warbird Museum at
Titusville's Space Coast Airport in their impressive display of
WWII, Korean and Vietnam era aircraft before heading off to
Kissimmee. There, one can enjoy watching Warbirds land and operate
at the Flying Tigers Warbird Restoration Museum in Kissimmee,
Florida at 10:00 am while also enjoying EAA Orlando Chapter 74's
Pancake breakfast at the working restoration facility, where
history flies again. Museum guests will have the opportunity to
see, touch and hear the history that they had only read about, or
seen in the movies, daily being brought back to its former glory.
There is always something flying over the Museum including the
visitors themselves when they join the past with a Warbird
Adventures' flight in a T-6/SNJ Texan. Be there to experience the
excitement as the Formation of Warbirds take off from Kissimmee and
land for lunch at Fantasy of Flight's 1930's art deco style diner,
The Compass Rose.
A lunch at Fantasy of Flight, a premier aviation attraction in
Polk City, begins with the Warbirds arriving at 12:30. Fantasy of
Flight, Florida's premier aviation attraction, portrays aviation's
first hundred years in walk-through sight and sound exhibits.
Visitors experience the golden age of aviation, a WWII bombing
mission in an actual B-17 bomber, fly a combat mission in realistic
full motion flight simulators and tour the largest private
collection of aircraft in the world displayed in vintage hangars
reminiscent of WWII.

The Formation of flying history will leave Fantasy of Flight
around 1:30. Other events occur throughout the afternoon, in
conjunction with other aviation museum programs.
These intriguing Aviation Museums and Attractions are now
forming up to offer a unique aviation experience in Central
Florida. Flying Tigers Warbird Restoration Museum, Fantasy of
Flight, and Valiant Air Command's (VACs) Warbird Air Museum are
among those launching their new Flight of Four Passport. The new
cooperative offers visitors to Florida an all inclusive passport
into aviation's past; tracing today's aeronautical accomplishments
while exploring the future of flight and preparing to fly into the
next one-hundred years of aviation progress.
