 As the end of the year draws near, we pause to reflect on our Journey as a company. A year of reflection, a year of reinvention, and a year of forward momentum. As our owner and visionary, Kermit Weeks says, " We are the Past . . . We are the Present . . . We are the Future."
From all of us to all of you, we wish you the Happiest of Holidays and a joyous New Year. We hope that you too will pause to reflect on your own Journey and discover what Fantasy of Flight is really all about.

Lillian "Breakaway" O'Malley!
On May 19, 1927, just one day before Charles Lindbergh began his epic solo flight across the Atlantic, Lillian "Breakaway" O'Malley  got in her plane and headed for New York to be part of Lindbergh's departing fanfare. That is when the unexpected happened and she found herself caught in the Fantasy of Flight Space Time Vortex.
A flying circus pilot and stunt performer from 1927 with a heart of gold and the ambition to conquer any obstacle there is, her purpose is to push the limits and show everyone that they are capable of anything they set their mind to. Come out to visit Lillian and other aviation icons that have travelled through time and now reside at Fantasy of Flight!

What's That You Say?
We LOVE to hear what our guests are saying about their experience at Fantasy of Flight. Check out this Trip Advisor Review from Benko in Carteret, NJ.
" Kermit Weeks, THANK YOU, for keeping and sharing all your knowledge and LOVE of aviation. And making it so enjoyable to all ages. Our family had a WONDERFUL time, browsing and reading and, "gapping out" at all your hard work to preserve history. My son, who also wants to become a pilot, was also inspired by "Snoopy and the Red Baron",(what a coincidence). This place/museum/educational site was great for all ages, with hands on experiments for the little ones, and the walk thru aviation history was a real plus. All your air craft are absolutely works of art. Your indoor diner, was also a nice finish for an exciting day. We LOVED it! HEY, Watching you fly that P-51 Mustang was also icing on the cake!!!! P.S Accolades for ROSIE the Riveter! What a wonderful asset for Fantasy of Flight, she was MAGNIFICENT! "
