Wings & Wheels Fly-In & Car Show
One of the most anticipated events is heading back to Chickasha, Oklahoma. Wing & Wheels fly-in and car show will feature the Devil Dog, a B-25 Bomber, along with other vintage aircraft from three Commemorative Air Force bases in Texas and Kansas. Wings & Wheels attendees will have the opportunity to watch RC jets put on a show, take photos with airplanes, check out classic cars, and enjoy food from local food trucks. New this year, the Chickasha Public Library will provide aviation related story time each hour, along with other activities for children. The planes will be available for photos, and those interested will have the opportunity to purchase a seat on flights.
For young aviation enthusiasts, local EAA volunteers will again offer Young Eagles flights. These flights are complimentary for children ages 8-18, with a goal of inspiring kids in the world of aviation. Registration for Young Eagles flights will be during the event, with the flights to begin after awards, around 1 p.m.
Last year, over 3,000 people enjoyed a day of free family-friendly fun at the Wings & Wheels Fly-In and Car Show, which featured the Arizona Commemorative Air Force’s Maid in the Shade. More than 60 aircraft and cars were on display at the show.
