When I was a police officer for Perry. I would routinely patrol the airport. I always thought it was cool to drive the squad car near the runway, but it was also exciting to me to get to see a lot of the planes up close. Now that I have a 2-year-old son, it was a pleasant surprise to discover that the staff at the airport seemed enjoy when I bring my kid out. The pilots are all very friendly and very happy to talk about there plans and where they've gone. It's a trip to hear my 2-year-old son. Tell me that ailerons are for turning the planes around. There's almost always something going on at the airport even if only the planes flying training hours or coming in for fuel. I really enjoy the stories from some of the pilots that I met. I highly recommend for a cheap outing if you have kids. read more
