Look Back on the Aviation Cadet Museum at Silver Wings Airfield

By Mark Nankivil

The Aero Experience visited the Aviation Cadet Museum at Silver Wings Field in Eureka Springs, AR during our Midwest Museum Tour in 2014.  Along with a great air park, the museum features exhibits illustrating the journey to becoming a pilot from the childhood dream to training to trying out actual aircraft cockpits.  One can sit in the cockpit of the F-105 Wild Weasel and Convair T-29 (as did Jack Nankivil), and play "AeroBall" in the airborne soccer simulator.  Check it out when you are in northern Arkansas.
