    A Ride For The Kids!

    Notes: This Taylorcraft L-2 is a WWII vintage liason/observation aircraft, is repainted in an authentic WWII/D-Day paint scheme, and gives a wonderful aviation experience, especially to young people. The Grasshopper offers a vintage aircraft ride - kids love to fly in this plane, that offers a superb view of the countryside, in which kids maintain an ongoing conversation with pilot Kris Kortokrax on the intercom.

    Museum aircraft are often away at air shows and events, so if you are coming to visit the museum, please check our Aircraft Schedule
