Our Location
The Sim Adventure Center wil be located on the first floor of the historic Kansas Aviation Museum, next to McConnell AFB in Wichita, Kansas.
The Kansas Aviation Mueum facility begain life as Wichita Municipal – ICT in aviation parlance – and was a major mid-continent stopover for airlines. The building was dedicated on March 31, 1935 and the upper control tower was added in 1941. During the 1940s, it was one of the busiest airports in the nation, with tower operators managing the constant stream of incoming and outgoing commercial flights. In 1944, a take-off or landing occurred every 90 seconds.
Wichita also was a major destination for nearly every aviation luminary of the times. Charles Lindbergh, Kansas’ own Amelia Earhart and many other celebrities crossed the ramp, admired the beautiful art deco terminal and dined in its cafeteria. The story is even told that Fred Astaire once entertained fellow passengers by dancing in the atrium while awaiting a flight.
So make sure to plan time before or after your simulator flight to explore the building, visit the planes on display such as the B-52, and check out the historic airport control tower where you can watch and listen to the air traffic at McConnell Air Force Base.
