Student Tours

Tours are available during regular business hours and weekends by special request.

The classroom portion includes a lesson on the four forces of flight, how a wing creates lift, a look at an airfoil, demonstrations of Bernoulli, and more.  Students will complete this activity by competing in our paper pilots program, and then they can test-fly off them of the 3rd-floor mezzanine!

Take a walk through three floors of the historic art-deco Wichita Municipal Airport building. Learn about the key people who enabled Wichita to become the Air Capital of the World. Discover what aircraft in the 20s and 30s were made of, and even sneak-a-peek inside a cockpit or two. 

Embark on a journey to our ramp and immerse yourself in the awe-inspiring presence of our diverse fleet of 12 aircraft. Strike a pose within the historic bomb bay of our iconic B-52, explore the renowned FedEx 727 plane, and unravel the fascinating tales behind each aircraft's unique history and purpose!
