Glenndale Days 2011

About Glenndale Days

Every year, Glenndale Airport comes alive in the fall for Glenndale Days our annual BBQ Bash! During the event, we offer rides in our "regular" airplanes, rides in rare WWII airplanes, breakfast, lunch, dinner and much more.

This is a family event! Come watch airplanes takeoff and land, up close and personal. For the kids we have bouncy moonwalks and inflatables, face painting, balloons, and gift bags!

On Saturday at 5PM, the Air Indiana Skydiving Center "drops by" with a parachute jump demonstration. Jumpers carry the American flag from 10,000 feet in the air to the ground in a unique and emotionally moving spectacle.

What many people do NOT know is that Glenndale Days is a charity event. The proceeds of the event go to help children and families suffering from Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA). When you take a ride in the AT-6 Texan, you're not only getting the thrill of a lifetime. You're also helping children suffering from SMA to breathe, eat, be medicated and monitored, and helping families to communicate and cope.

For more information on SMA, or to donate to SMA Support, click here.

Schedule of Events

The Airplanes

	The AT-6 was used as a trainer for Allied pilots during WWII. Even today, pilots must first prove themselves in the AT-6 before flying a P-51 Mustang for the first time. The AT-6 sports a thundering 600 HP Pratt and Whitney radial piston engine. AT-6 rides are $100 per person, with one passenger per ride.
	Our entire fleet of aircraft turns out to offer aerial tours of Kokomo at Glenndale Days. We'll take you on a 15-20 minute cruise around (and above) town. Children under 12 must be accompanied by an adult. Your tour pilot will be happy to answer any questions about flying you might have. We may even let you take the controls and fly the airplane yourself for a minute! $20 adults, $10 children.
	Nathan Davis may bring his P-51 Mustang, "Checkertail", to the event. This is only one of many unique airplanes that will be at the event! For more on Nathan and "Checkertail", see Warbird Depot.

Prizes

We also raffle off various prizes. You can enter the raffle at any time during the event. The drawing takes place at the end of the event, on Sunday evening. Winners do not need to be present to claim their prize. Last year, we raffled off prizes such as a pedal-powered airplane for kids, an hour of time in a KC-135 simulator, free flight time in our aircraft and more!
