The Fort Vancouver National Trust is hosting its annual Open Cockpit Day this Saturday, May 30 from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM at the Pearson Field Education Center (1115 E 5th St, Vancouver).
Visitors will have the opportunity to climb into the cockpits of selected vintage aircraft, and experience the planes from a pilot’s perspective.
Free airplane rides will be offered to youth, ages eight (8) through seventeen (17), with written permission from parents or guardians. Rides will be given on a first-come, first-serve basis; weather permitting. The rides are provided by the Young Eagles Program, a branch of Experimental Aviation Association chapters 105 and 782.
