Break the fun barrier with a pilot helmet exhibit, photo ops, tours of our mural, and more! Paper Airplane Contest: design and decorate your own paper airplanes; weโll let them fly at 1pm with prizes in various categories. Take your pilot training up a notch with a virtual reality flight simulator and a wind tunnel experience for a modest additional charge.

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for kids to meet a real-life Air Force fighter pilot! Colonel Alton Whitley (please call him โAlโ) is a decorated veteran who served during the Vietnam War, took command of the 37th Fighter Wing, and deployed for Operation Desert Shield and Desert Storm. Al was the first operational pilot to jump in the seat to fly the legendary Lockheed F-117 Nighthawk a.k.a. the first combat aircraft to feature stealth technology! He will tell you about his training, career, and answer your questions! If you use your eagle eyes, you might even see where AMPโs Ellen Griesedieck has painted Alโs stealthy plane in our mural!
