Visiting the WNC Air Museum

We took a little road trip to the Western North Carolina Air Museum in Hendersonville, North Carolina. The small museum houses mostly flyable scale replicas/ experimental aircraft. While nice to look at, I was a bit disappointed that there weren't more actual vintage aircraft. It is probably best to visit when the museum is hosting a special event. 

Photos from the 2021 Atlanta Air Show

We took a road trip down to Peachtree City, Georgia for the 2021 Atlanta Air Show. The Atlanta Regional Airport - Falcon Field is home to the Commemorative Air Force and is a nice airport for an air show. It is small enough that you can get pretty close to the flight line to watch the aircraft. A mix of prop aircraft and jets took to the skies but the show was shorter than what we are used to experiencing. We still enjoyed watching the show and were happy to be able to get outside for the day. 

Asheville Airport Observation Area

We saw a sign near the Asheville Regional Airport (AVL) for an Observation Area so we thought we would check it out. If you follow Wright Brothers Way, towards the end on the right-hand side you will see a little pavilion on top of a hill. There is a graveled parking area with a picnic table, a bench, and a trash can.  It isn't a clear line of sight to the runways because of trees but you can watch the planes coming and going.

If you like vintage warbirds or anything related to WWII then do yourself a favor and visit the WWII Weekend held by the Mid-Atlantic Air Museum in Reading, Pennsylvania.  Every June a dedicated group of reenactors puts on a fantastic event based on the time era of WWII.
