![Schaumburg Aviation Celebration - Sept. 8, 2007 :
Aviation Celebration at Schaumburg Airport today and Sunday. Featuring airplane rides in a Waco Classic biplane from Red Baron Rides, as well as a couple of helicopters that seemed pretty busy!
The BIG attraction of the day however (and that's an understatement!), was the Commemorative Air Force's C-47. Offering rides for $95.00, there surprisingly, weren't a lot of takers. Hopefully tomorrow will be a different story. I want to see this behemoth run down the runway!
There's a lot of aircraft to get up-close and personal with. Strap the helmet on the kids and bring them out. You can't go wrong in infecting them with the "aviation" bug! ;-) It's a lot of fun!
The event was put together by Northwest Flyers, an FBO based at Schaumburg Airport (06C). For more information on the event, click here.
Proceeds from the admission fees will go to Woodfield Area Children's Organization.
