Wheels & Warbirds takes off Sept. 24

By General Aviation News Staff · September 15, 2016 ·

Cavanaugh Flight Museum in Addison, Texas, will host Wheels & Warbirds Sept. 24-25, 2016.

The fall festival features the opportunity for guests to ride in the museum’s collection of vintage aircraft and military vehicles.

Families will enjoy the carnival-like atmosphere featuring games and activities for the kids, Word War II tank demonstrations, concessions, aircraft tours and photo opportunities with aircraft that are not normally available for viewing, according to museum officials.

The event will also feature the museum’s collection of rare Vietnam-era Skyraiders, one of the few flying AD-6s in the world, as well as the multi-seat AD-5 that guest can take a ride in.

“We are very excited about this year’s event,” said Scott Slocum, marketing director for Cavanaugh Flight Museum. “We will have the largest variety of warbirds onsite in the world that someone can take a ride in.”

On Saturday, Sept. 24, the museum also will host the Pontiac Southern Nationals Car Show featuring some of the finest Pontiac muscle cars from around the country. Then on Sunday, the American Classic Car Show will celebrate classic and custom vehicles from every era.
