Flight Night-Aviation Museum-Halloween Night!


*Take a hayride pulled by a vehicle designed to tow planes.

*Climb into a yellow Piper Cub and take the controls for a pretend flight.

*Make and fly a paper bat. Create your own UFO. Go on a scavenger hunt.

*Come in costume and get your picture taken in front of a Vietnam-era A-4 Skyhawk light attack bomber.

*Decorate a candy bag to take home all your treats.


It’s all at Flight Night at the Virginia Aviation Museum on Friday, Oct. 31, 6-8 p.m.

“If you’re looking for a safe, family friendly event, have we got a party for you,” says Virginia Aviation Museum Director Mike Boehme. “Our Flight Night is filled with fun things aimed at the kids. We have a few scary activities, but you’ll notice our name is Flight Night, not Fright Night. A good time will be had by all.”

Visit the Kids Ready Room and ride the pedal planes. Get fake tattoos. Make a scary necklace. Were those brains you just felt? Nope, it was just squishy spaghetti in a seasonal game. If you think you have what it takes to be a pilot, test your skills at one of the flight simulators.

Flight Night is $6 per person. For museum information call (804) 236-3622 or visit http://www.vam.smv.org/. The Virginia Aviation Museum is open Monday-Saturday, 9:30 a.m.-5 p.m., and Sunday, noon-5 p.m. The Virginia Aviation Museum is at 5701 Huntsman Road, Richmond International Airport.
