实验飞机协会的空中冒险
地方性遗产

您曾想要驾驶飞机吗?

假如您想要学习如何驾驶飞机、制造飞机,或假如您只是想要享受置身飞机群的感受,那么您一定要来参加威斯康辛州奥士科士市的实验飞机协会的空中冒险展。您将会遇见如照片中,飞机上的男人一样,那些不怕死的人。1953年创办的实验飞机协会(EAA),是由一群对建造自己飞机一事感兴趣的人所发起,他们还策划了一个空中展。时间一年年的过去,这个组织逐渐扩大它的任务,将古董飞机、直升机及其他类型的飞机也包括在内。

出席空中冒险展的访客,可以近距离的观看飞机,包括如「圣路易的精神号」(Spirit of St. Louis:第一架飞越大西洋的飞机,途中完全不停靠且由单人驾驶)的旧式飞机、「史提斯」(Stealth)战斗机或甚至是超音波喷射客机「协和号」(Concorde)。假如您想要学习飞行,看看「幼鹰」幼鹰驾驶计画的目标,是给予1百万位年龄介于817岁的人一趟免费的飞机介绍之旅而这些慷慨旅程的带领者,都是自愿参加此一计画的EAA 驾驶员。假如您未来想要成为一位驾驶员,您就来到了正确的地方啰!


Have you ever wanted to fly a plane?

If you want to learn about flying a plane, how to make one, or if you just enjoy being around airplanes, come to the Experimental Aircraft Association's AirVenture Show in Oshkosh, Wisconsin. You'll be able to see daredevils like the man on the airplane. A group of people interested in building their own airplanes started the Experimental Aircraft Association (EAA) in 1953 and organized an air show. Over the years, the organization expanded its mission to include antiques, helicopters and other types of planes.

At the AirVenture Show visitors can see planes up close -- an old plane like the Spirit of St. Louis (the first plane to fly with a solo pilot nonstop across the Atlantic), a Stealth fighter or maybe even the supersonic Concorde. If you want to learn about flying, check out the Young Eagles. The goal of the Young Eagles Pilot Program is to give 1 million people ages 8 to 17 a free introductory airplane ride. These rides are provided through the generosity of volunteer EAA pilots. If you'd like to be a pilot some day, you've found the right place!
