The Haunted Hangar Storytelling Tour
According to Fantasy of Flight's ace storytellers, "Aircraft are vehicles of intense sensation." Are those sensations responsible for all the spooky tales that haunt old airfields and follow vintage aircraft? What can we learn from them?
The daily Haunted Hangar Storytelling Tour unspools entertaining yarns that are a little eerie and also quite inspiring: Lindbergh's companion spirits, the ghost of the Red Baron, "The Lady be Good," and the dreaded "Dead Stick Landing!"
This special tour is offered daily throughout the month of October. |
Kermit's British Adventures
As this newsletter sails through the ether to your mailbox, Kermit is in England with a bevy of other aviation legends--including Gene DeMarco--flying the thrilling skies above Shuttleworth and checking in on some UK projects. Like everyone else, all of us at Fantasy of Flight stay tuned into Kermit's own Facebook page to keep up with his whirlwind adventures. Sounds to us like he's decided to stick around for Duxford, which promises to be another great show! And, wait a minute, did he just say he may be getting another aircraft!?!?!?! Never EVER a dull moment! |
