The phone is ringing for Summer Kids Programs and the calendar is filling up. Fantasy of Flight takes great pride in its summer program---great deals for groups interested in a unique, entertaining, inspiring, and (we can't help ourselves) educational experience. After all, few things are as thrilling as FLIGHT. If you have a bunch of kids on your hands this summer, consider spending the day at Fantasy of Flight. Get in touch with a Fantasy of Flight representative for a fab deal on an unforgettable outing!
Kermit sends regrets that he won't be sharing Fathers Day with us. But he's not really very sad. Why? Because he and a crew of elite aircraft experts (a/k/a our Aircraft Department) are packing up and heading out to Texas to pack up and bring home the latest and greatest treasure for the collection: Howard Hughes's legendary 1937 Sikorsky S-43 Flying Boat. This utterly unique and extraordinarly rare aircraft -- the "pinnacle of '30s luxury"--is going to make its new home among other legends at Fantasy of Flight!

Follow the adventure in real time on Fantasy of Flight's Facebook page and on Kermit's Facebook page. Also check out this video to catch up on the background of the plane and the last trip to Brazoria County Airport to survey the aircraft, back in September:
Ever wanted to crawl around inside a real British classic warbird--an original De Havilland Mosquito--and take a tour with a guy who knows his way around it.?Then today's your lucky day, and the "Kermit Cam" is your best pal!
While up in Oshkosh on business, Kermit took advantage of the opportunity to visit his Mosquito, which is on loan to the EAA Museum, and brought you along via the Kermie Cam. Enjoy!
