This involved kids-oriented activities including: a paper airplane station, "Houston we may have an omelet" (egg drop), and, best of all, slip-together glider flying in the Eagle Hanger amidst a P-38, DeHavilland Mosquito, Ryan STA, and other great full-scale ships. The "best of all" part is because we got to fly in the ~40' hanger, too! The air was very good - 6 minute quarter motors up to the girders and straight back down the the launch spot. When I hung a bracing wire on ragged edge of one of the beams, I even got to take a scary ride on the lift to get it free.
