KidVenture
A pint-sized version of EAA’s annual AirVenture, EAA's KidVenture provides thousands of children with amusing and educational aviation experiences.
At EAA AirVenture 2007, KidVenture was located across Pioneer Airport's turf runway. Although not in its traditional location, there was much more room for kids to enjoy safe, hands-on aviation activities at this site.
This year ‘high-tech’ was one of the main themes, with additional flight simulators installed to allow more kids to try their hands at virtual flying. The popular flight training sessions with National Association of Flight Instructors (NAFI) was doubled, plus eight stations were available to offer an introduction to meteorology, navigation and other subjects.
In addition, children built their own gliders and rockets, experienced flight simulators, heard aviation legends tell their stories, rode in a tethered hot-air balloon and much more.
