Camping, Auction, Great Times at Warbird Museum
Fly into Kissimmee Gateway Airport (ISM) for a weekend of
fun the your way to (or, better yet, instead of) Sun 'n
Fun.
All pilots are invited to Tie Down and Fuel
Up at the Flying Tigers Warbird Restoration Museum’s
Annual Aviation Auction, this Sunday, March 30th. Each year
warbirds from all over the country gather at the Warbird Museum to
enjoy a good meal, cheap fuel, great stories and the opportunity to
acquire incredible deals on aviation/military memorabilia,
equipment, manuals parts, art work, old books, vintage jewelry and
rarities of all kinds at the Annual Aviation Auction. Pilots
and planes of all types are invited to join in on the fun. Come to
the Auction on Sunday and tie down for FREE Sunday night. Fill Up
with Fuel and receive FREE admission to the fantastic, working
Warbird Museum.
No where else can you fly into an airport rich with the history
that Hollywood has made vogue recently. The Warbird Museum has
dozens of vintage planes either going through the restoration
process or waiting for their turn to be renewed. Several bombers
and fighters on the field are in flying condition and can be seen
gracing the skies over central Florida as they did six decades
ago.
Meet author Ron Drez, too:
Warbirds and
their pilots will be coming to the Museum not only for the Annual
Aviation Auction on Sunday but also to meet author Ron Drez, author
of “Voices of D-Day” and “25 Yards of War.”
People know him from his collaborations and partnership with the
late famed historian Stephen Ambrose, author of Band of
Brothers, D-Day to the Rhine, Citizen Soldier,
The Wild Blue (about B-24 pilots) and the inspiration for
Saving Private Ryan. Ron will be at the Museum March 29th
and 30th for the Annual Aviation Auction to sign his books and
share his collected stories. Ron directs tours of D-Day, Market
Garden and Bastogne for Ambrose Historical Tours as well as being
lecturer, historian and researcher at the Eisenhower Center in New
Orleans.
