A friendly volunteer met me in the parking lot, showed me some museum highlights and status of ongoing work on historic aircraft in the hangar. The weather was perfect, and the pilot of the PT-19 was fun, interesting, very competent, and informative. I'd never flown in an open cockpit, tail wheel aircraft and it was a fantastic and memorable experience!

The pilot and volunteers were very knowledgeable and professional, and fun. Made us feel very comfortable and reassured us of safety. Rode in the Fairchild PT-19 and was able to fly the plane during our 30 minutes flight. It was such a great experience. We'll return, for sure.
