Welcome to the one and only live one-man show to entertain
and teach the history of the men who built the air arm of this nation. Most of
you have never even heard about the Aviation Cadet program, even though you
most likely have at least one relative who was involved in this great training
program. Errol D. Severe was a
member of Aviation Cadet class 61-E, graduating as a pilot, from Vance AFB in
January of 1961. He went on to fly
for Delta Airlines and retired as a 727 Captain in 1985. Captain Severe is one
of, if not, the foremost authority on the Flying/Aviation Cadet program in the
world. He wrote the Last of a Breed, the only book on the
entire Flying/Aviation Cadet program in what eventually became the United
States Air Force. You will not
only be entertained by his whit and knowledge, you will be able to sit in the
cockpit of a Vietnam era F-105 F/G Wild Weasel aircraft which actually served
in Vietnam during the war.
You will be allowed to enter the forward section of a Convair
T-29 flying classroom used to train our navigators. This is the only original display of its type anywhere. When we have groups, we will launch the
space shuttle (at least a video of an actually launch) while viewing the actual
firing room consoles used at Cape Kennedy. The sound system will make the launch even more
exciting. We also have an Air National
Guard F-16 simulator that you can view, and fly with a reservation and
additional cost. In our “Plane
Pen” we have a complete F-105 F/G, T-34, F-5, F-100 and a T-33 all on display. As you can see, this is not a dry
“museum,” it is an entertainment center which has pleased most all who have
been here, men, woman, and children.
We run three shows per day during the week (10:00, 13:00 and 15:00) on
Saturday we run two shows (13:00 and 15:00) on Sunday we run only one show
(15:00). You must make
reservations before coming, please call 479-253-5008. We do not take credit cards and ask that in case something
comes up and you cannot make your reservation, you take a moment to call and
let us know.
