Series of Aviation Films Will Run All Week for Nightly Admission
AirVenture audiences will have a fun nightly option to wind down after a long day of walking at this year's AirVenture 2024, with nightly movie exhibitions spanning old classics from the early years of wartime photography to modern biopics.
The lineup will start with everyone's fave cold war guilty pleasure, Top Gun, running on Saturday July 20th. Sunday will see 2023's A Million Miles Away, Monday 1948's The Fighter Squadron, then Toward the Unknown (1956), Fire Birds (1990), Captains of the Clouds (1942), The Blue Angels (2024), and capping everything off the last Saturday with The Right Stuff from 1983.
The Fly-In Theater has become a modest tradition for attendees near the EAA's Camp Scholler campground. The movies are screened on a 5-story tall movie screen with plenty of free popcorn on tap for attendees. The whole shebang comes courtesy of Lycoming, who probably had to run around a bit to get approval from all those studios... however they did it, it's free for attendees, and a nice little way to wind down and rest without denting the wallet.
AirVenture 2024 is coming up quick, and there's only so much time left on the calendar to get tickets at early bird prices. Those who attend for the full week certainly get their money's worth, since they get the full gamut of exhibitions, shows, and appearances from day to day. Recent news has brought word that the CAF SkyHawks, USAF A-10 demonstration team, and the Air Force Materiel Command will all make a showing this year, bringing out some fresh new metal for attendees that hasn't been out for a little while.
