Aviation Discovery Fest
Since its inception in 1957, the Commemorative Air Force has worked to preserve, protect and share the history of American military aviation. For the third year, the Dallas-based nonprofit will host Aviation Discovery Fest on Oct. 3-4 at Dallas Executive Airport.
This year’s theme for the festival is Victory – as in Victory in World War II. The weekend will include one of the largest Living History experiences available in Texas, with re-enactors and military vehicles along with a highly interactive area with dozens of educational experiences, live performances and more. Veterans will share their experiences, often in front of the airplanes that were historically significant during the campaigns in which they served.
A fantastic array of airplanes, most from the WWII era, will be on display, many of which can be booked for private rides. Funds generated from rides help maintain and preserve these flying pieces of history. In addition to rides, several airplanes attending will offer cockpit tours and hands-on experiences.
The event will also include a classic car show featuring restored vehicles from the 1930s through 1950s.
Tickets for the Aviation Discovery Fest are $20 for adults, $15 for students and seniors, and free for kids 5 and younger. A family pass, which includes two adult tickets and up to three children’s tickets on Saturday, is available for $40, which reflects up to a $35 savings. Tickets for the event can be purchased at aviationdiscoveryfest.org.
