Aviation Day was an opportunity for the public to come out to the Vero Beach
Municipal Airport for a little "Airplane Time". History Flight brought a
B-25 and a T-6 and gave rides in both. A civilian owned L-39 jet trainer with a Blue Angels paint
scheme lead the list of over 50 aircraft on static display, including new
production aircraft like the new Piper Jet and Piper Light Sport LSA, antique
and classic aircraft, military and war bird aircraft, home-built and light sport
aircraft.

"Always a good photo op." -Boyd Fellows
In addition to checking out the display aircraft, visitors tried their hand at two flight simulators, (provided by EAA Chapter 99) that was set up with the latest version of MS Flight Simulator X with add-ons and accessories such as yoke pedals and a switch panel similar to a real plane. The simulator also provided the viewer with photographic scenery of Vero Beach including ground terrain.
