Little Wings, Big Dreams:
Sport Aviation in Miniature
The museum’s newest exhibit, “Little Wings...Big Dreams, Sport Aviation in Miniature” opened March 20 in the Gilbert H. Hansen Photography Gallery. This exhibit showcases the remarkable skills and imagination of model aircraft builders of various disciplines, including radio control, free-flight, control line and static models. Many EAA members began their interest in aviation by creating model planes. Through the years, that interest grew into aviation careers and fascination with full size aircraft. Several members have loaned their models to this exhibit, since they are still active modelers and enjoy sharing their enthusiasm for their hobby with others.
For a sampling of the model show check out the photo gallery on the EAA website http://www.eaa.org/photos/
