EAA Offers Special Events This Week

Organization Hosts Simulator Weekend; Tuskegee Tribute

EAA is reminding us that a couple of exciting events are taking place this week. During EAA AirVenture Museum's annual Flight Simulator Weekend on February 28-29, visitors can experience virtual flight through many different simulation platforms. Get hands-on with a radio-control model simulator; instructional sessions on Microsoft Flight Simulator 2004, Microsoft X-Box and PlayStation 2- based flight simulators; kite and hot air balloon simulators; three-axis simulated flight in the popular MaxFlight F-16 full-motion simulator; and Combat Flight Simulator dogfight missions.

Attendees can also try their hands at recreating the first powered flight by flying the immensely popular 1903 Wright Flyer simulator, an accurate reproduction of the controls and flight characteristics of the world's first powered airplane. All activities are included in regular Museum admission except the MaxFlight full-motion simulator (additional $6 per person). Hours are 8:30 a.m.- 5 p.m. on Saturday and 10 a.m.- 5 p.m. on Sunday.

In, addition to the virtual flying, EAA offers a historic reminder of some real-world aviators. EAA's AirVenture Museum’s commemorative program and exhibit launch, “Salute to Tuskegee Airmen,” takes place on Wednesday, February 25, including a special exclusive webcast for EAA members. Along with special display of a North American T-6 used to train Tuskegee pilots, the organization welcomes two original Tuskegee Airmen, Richard Macon and Robert Martin, for a special presentation beginning at 6:30 p.m. in the museum’s Eagle Hangar. The evening presentation featuring Macon and Martin will be webcast on the EAA members-only website.
