EXPLORATION OF FLIGHT

Centennial

News: Exploration of Flight and the Commemorative Air Force invite the public to experience History Comes to Life, a multi-day fundraiser where once-in-a-lifetime flights can be taken in various vintage warbirds.

Those not inclined to become airborne can tour the planes, including a World War II B-17, a SB2C Helldiver and Twin Beech Little Raider, while they are parked.

Exploration of Flight, a division of Wings Over the Rockies Air & Space Museum, is located at 13005 Wings Way, on a 15-acre campus at Centennial Airport. History Comes to Life takes place from Sept. 3-9, with flight tickets ranging from $100 to $850.

Those booking a flight will board their respective plane and witness the engine startup sequence before the pilot taxis to the runway and pauses for a full-engine runup and flight clearance. The flight itself will last 20-25 minutes.

Flight passengers are asked to check in one hour before takeoff for a passenger safety briefing and photo op with the crew.

About the organization: Exploration of Flight opened in 2018. It provides a unique way for visitors to explore all dimensions of the flight experience – both within the earth’s atmosphere and in outer space.
