点评:On our trip to visit family in Wichita this was my favorite outing. Of course, we have an ATC member if Air Force with us and as we went in she told us if we hurried to the tower we’d have an amazing view of some planes coming in on training exercises. And she was right! In the tower you also have a live radio feed from both the Air Force Tower and the radio ATC at the local airport. As we watched the planes hovering about a foot above the runway and then aborting landing. An older woman came in. She told us about her time as a pilot. She said she saw the trainer plane and wanted to come over and see it. She lives nearby. So just the tower is amazing but it’s in an art deco building built in the 1930s that is beautiful. The other exhibits are amazing and they have simulators to try your hand at flying. Outside we walked through to large decommissioned planes and peeked into some smaller jets. We even sat in a cockpit.
