Family Day
Reach for the Sky!
Become a Pilot Family Day and Aviation Display
Saturday, June 16
10:00 AM to 3:00 PM
Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center
Admission: Free
This year's Become a Pilot Family Day is bigger and better than ever!
More than 50 visiting aircraft ranging from antique to modern military will
be on display outside the Boeing Aviation Hangar. Pilots will be with their
aircraft to answer questions, and in some cases visitors will be invited to
sit in the cockpit.
Inside the Center will be an array of special Reach for the Sky activities
for all ages. Visitors can learn what it takes to become a pilot; and
youngsters can participate in a living legends art activity, talk to model
airplane
experts, enjoy hands-on activities, and fly a simulator. Even toddlers are
included, with “Flights of Fancy” stories and other age-appropriate
activities.
Come and discover if you have the right stuff to be a pilot!
The participation of aircraft in this Family Day is dependent on the
weather. Even if inclement weather prevents the arrival of some of the
aircraft,
there will still be lots of terrific things to do and see inside the Center.
Visiting aircraft will be on display until 3 p.m.
Many more activities and a full list of airplanes flying in for the event
will be posted soon, so check back often.
