People of all ages had a chance to learn more about the aviation industry in Wichita.
“We’ve got to continue our claim to the air capital of the world. And doing that means inspiring the next generation of aviation workers, the next generation of pilots, and the next generation of those who are passionate of maintaining aircraft and going on to tell the story and that is what these types of events are about,” said Josh Wells, B-29 Doc and Doc’sFriends, Inc. executive director
