I would be willing to bet that at some point in time, every child has dreamed of becoming an airplane pilot or even an astronaut – there is something magical and awe-inspiring when you witness a giant piece of metal glide down from the sky and land, or when you gather around the TV to watch a space shuttle launch into space with your family. On Aug. 26, those dreams can become reality – for you and your children. Make plans to join me, and the City of Midland Airports Department at Fly into Fall out at Midland Airpark.
Fly Into Fall is a free educational and interactive aviation experience for all ages. Come try your hand at flying a drone through a challenging obstacle course, or let your little ones experience air traffic control as they pilot their own plane on our runway experience. Gates open at 9 am and the fun continues until 2 pm.
