Are you looking to bring an unforgettable, hands-on piece of aviation history to your next event? We are thrilled to offer our authentic and highly interactive F-11 Tiger cockpit for community outreach, educational programs, and private gatherings.
Whether you are hosting a school STEM day, a non-profit fundraiser, a city or county festival, a corporate event, or even a unique birthday party, our cockpit allows guests to climb inside and truly experience life as a pilot.
