Open Cockpit Scheduled October 19

Satisfy your need for excitement Saturday, October 19, 10 a.m.-2 p.m., at Aviation Heritage Park’s annual Open Cockpit event.

AHP welcomes the public to an up-close, open cockpit look at all six of the park warbirds. Knowledgeable docents will be on hand discussing the aircraft and telling the stories of the pilots. Viewing platforms will be available for all the park aircraft. You can also stop by the Restoration Tent and check-out the newly acquired SH-3.

Get the camera ready when you climb up to see the Northrup T-38 Talon. You are invited to not only look, but also climb into the seat of this NASA trainer honoring local astronaut Terry Wilcutt. This Talon #901 was flown by all the astronauts who have ever walked on the moon.

Rapid Rick and Pelican SnoBalls will be in the park for your snacking pleasure.
