Aviation

The National Soaring Museum on Harris Hill will show you why Chemung County is the Soaring Capital of America with their hands on flight simulators and their vast collection of sailplanes- the largest in the world! Interested in more than a simulator? Drop in at the Harris Hill Soaring Center and book a sailplane ride with one of their experienced glider pilots and thrill to one of the most spectacular views in all of New York State.

 

Let The Wings of Eagles Discovery Center steer you on a journey through the history of aviation. Marvel at their museum hangar collection of aircraft, missiles, replicas and flight simulators. You can even take off for a once in a lifetime flight aboard one of three vintage WWII planes!

 

Round out your exploration into aviation with a visit to the Glenn H. Curtiss Museum in nearby Hammondsport to view an exciting collection of pre-Wright brothers’ historical aircraft, engines, and Curtiss antique motorcycles.
