Help us bring new life to our retired Cessna 150! This event* will teach guests the value and history of aircraft art, demonstrate how to create mural works step by step, and provide the unique opportunity to paint a real airplane. Bring the whole family for an exciting day of hands-on creativity!

You’ll discover:

• How nose art originated
• Decide on a theme for the project with a certified teaching artist
• Map, edge tape, and paint your creation
• Participate in a picnic** on the tarmac while watching planes take off and land
• And more!

The finished Cessna will be displayed in our hangar for a limited time, to be seen by other guests, friends, or family during future visits!
