The fleet of vintage aircraft displayed at Fantasy Of
Flight features aircraft whose accomplishments have earned the
admiration of knowledgeable aviators and inspired the
imagination of those who have always dreamed of soaring above
the clouds.
The vintage aircraft, painstakingly
acquired by lifelong aviation enthusiast and founder of
Fantasy Of Flight, Kermit Weeks, represents all eras of
aviation from early flight to the 1950s.
Some aircraft
have been carefully restored to represent the same dignity
they possessed when they ruled the skies. Others, shown in the
“immersion” experiences, look exactly the same as when Weeks
acquired them.
Experience the thrill of flying a WWII combat mission
at "Fighter Town USA", where the only thing between you and
the enemy is the windscreen you’re looking through!
Or imagine you’re the pilot of a F4U Corsair or a F4F
Wildcat involved in mid-air combat with enemy aircraft over
the blue waters of the Pacific!
Employing advanced simulation technology, Fantasy Of
Flight’s simulators put you in the pilot seat - capturing the
sights, sounds & even the emotions of participating in a
WWII Pacific Theatre combat mission aboard one of eight
classic aircraft.
Opening
Times
Open daily 9:00am to 5:00pm. Excluding Thanksgiving
and Christmas Day.

Tips for
Guests Well worth a visit. Make sure that you
get there early - as the hangars in which the aircraft sit can
get mighty hot in the Florida sunshine. This attractions is
more for the Dad's in the group, although the air-combat sim
is a must for the kids also.
Make sure you stay and
eat either breakfast or lunch at the "The Compass Rose" Diner
that's on site. It's a nostalgic trip back to the 30's and
40's.
