EAA Invites You To 'Fake It' On Sept. 28th

EAA Hosts 'Flight Simulator Day' Sept. 28

EAA AirVenture Museum visitors will have a unique, exciting opportunity to enjoy the real and virtual worlds of flight in the same location on Sunday, Sept. 28, when the museum hosts a "Flight Simulator Day" at the facility.

This special event, included with regular museum admission, features EAA's world-class aircraft collection along with the capabilities of Microsoft's new Flight Simulator 2004: A Century of Flight software, which was launched at EAA AirVenture this summer. Microsoft and EAA collaborated on several features in the new version of the world's most popular flight simulation software, including:

  • EAA's Ford Tri-Motor accurately modeled in the new software;
  • EAA's Spirit of St. Louis replica provided flight data for the virtual airplane in the new software;
  • The Wright Flyer cradle cockpit was designed by EAA to showcase the capabilities of the first successful powered aircraft.

Several flight simulator stations will be set up throughout the museum where visitors can try the new software. Just outside of the museum, many of the most popular airplanes featured in Flight Simulator 2004 will be on display. Several of the airplanes, including the actual Ford Tri-Motor used in the new software, as well as a Piper Cub and Spirit of St. Louis replica, will be available for passenger flights from the museum's Pioneer Airport (weather permitting; passenger flights require additional fees).

The EAA AirVenture Museum is located just off Highway 41 at the Highway 44 exit in Oshkosh. The Museum is open Monday through Saturday from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. and on Sundays from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
