Midwest/East coast trip, day 16

Day 16, Fantasy of Flight


We visited Fantasy of Flight today. The unique thing about Fantasy of Flight is that they restore aircraft to flying condition vs. static display. It's a fairly small facility but they have several unique exhibits, especially the walk through diorama type displays.

Any aircraft homebuilder would be in heaven here on the tours of the restoration hangar. At the moment, they have ten or so aircraft undergoing restoration but they have many more in several warehouses and shipping containers.

Admission is a bit pricey but if you hit their website, they have a two for one deal that takes adult admission down to the $15 range.

While there, two aircraft were flown. The first was a Feiseler Fi 156 Storch.


The second aircraft flown, though not part of the afternoon display, was a T6 that just came out of annual and Kermit Weeks himself was at the controls.
