Wings of Valor - WWII Pilot Training Experience

 Open to pilots and non-pilots

Before WWII pilots ever left the ground, they knew the airplane. Now you can train like they did: classroom ground school, a detailed look at the aircraft's systems, and a full preflight walk around on a real warbird.

After learning about the aircraft, take a ride on it! This is optional and spots are limited.

• Ground Training and Aircraft Flights are independent of each other

• Doing one does not obligate doing the other

• The Ground Training and Aircraft Flights must be signed up for separately

• Mix and match! Your Ground Training does not have to match the Aircraft Flight

Overview

You will begin with a session to learn about:

While most of this training is intended for pilots and essential aircrew, it is open to everyone and a great way to learn about the aircrafts.

This is typically broken up into two parts:
