Aviation Day
|
|
Aviation Day is a free, annual community event organized by the Lee County Port Authority aimed at educating the residents of Southwest Florida about the social and economic benefit to the region by aviation. Aviation Day will be held at Page Field in Fort Myers on Saturday, Nov. 5, 2011, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. The event is held on the north ramp off N. Airport Road.
This year, visitors will be able to view a North American P-51D Mustang that began its service in 1945 at Page Field. The second featured aircraft - new to Aviation Day - is a Douglas DC-7B in Eastern Airlines livery. This four-engine, completely restored aircraft was delivered to Eastern in 1958 and was one of the last piston-engine commercial planes built before the advent of the jet age.
Other attractions will include experimental, antique and military plane exhibits, plane rides, WGCU "Untold Stories" of aviation history in Southwest Florida, children's activities and character appearances, demonstrations by airport police and fire departments, refreshments and more.
Though admission is free, we are asking those coming to the event to help our local community by bringing a non-perishable food item. All donations will benefit The Harry Chapin Food Bank of Southwest Florida whose mission is to overcome hunger in our communities through education and by working in a cooperative effort with affiliated agencies in the procurement and distribution of food, equitably and without discrimination.
