Aviation Adventures, Museums & Collections
Experience the thrill of flight in Mark Twain Country! The same hills that inspired Mark Twain have also made the Chemung Valley the Soaring Capital of America. Sailplanes take off from the Harris Hill Soaring Center year-round weather permitting so sit back and let one of their experienced glider pilots take you on the ride of your life!
Test your skill on a flight simulator at The National Soaring Museum on Harris Hill or simply appreciate the art and science of glider design as you view their vast collection of sailplanes- the largest in the world!
Visit the Wings of Eagles Discovery Center and let history take flight! Aside from their display of aviation history and aircraft, you can actually book a flight on one of three vintage WWII planes. Want to see Finger Lakes Wine Country in a whole new way? Try a helicopter tour from FirstAir!
Looking for more aviation excitement? Visit the Glenn H. Curtiss Museum in nearby Hammondsport to view their comprehensive collection of pre-Wright Brothers historical aircraft, engines, and Curtiss antique motorcycles.
