Coming to DuPage July 17-22!!!

is a great time to remind everyone about the trainers that join us on the road. A ride on the PT-13 Stearman or the AT-6 Texan is a lot more personalized experience, and while the Texan shows you the power of the advanced trainer, there's nothing quite like flying in an open cockpit! Try it for yourself at one of our upcoming tour stops: https://www.airpowersquadron.org/schedule
