Picture yourself boarding a JSX jet from a private terminal, cruising around town in a Lincoln before an overnight hotel stay, or adding a game-day treasure to your collection. You don't need a seat at the First in Flight Luncheon to enter for a chance to win and make one of these your reality.

The First in Flight Raffle is open now, and every ticket supports aerospace and STEM education programs that inspire the next generation of innovators, pilots, engineers, and explorers across North Texas.

Tickets are just $25 each or 5 for $100, and winners will be drawn on October 16. Need not be present to win.

The U.S. Navy Blue Angels are known for precision, teamwork, and performance at the highest level.

Before becoming a museum centerpiece, this F/A-18C Hornet spent years flying with the Blue Angels, inspiring audiences across the country and showcasing the professionalism of naval aviation. Today, visitors to the Frontiers of Flight Museum can experience that legacy up close in Dallas.

Do you have a favorite Blue Angels memory?

This year’s STEM Career Days are officially underway! We're welcoming students from 58 Dallas ISD schools to the Frontiers of Flight Museum between Sept 30 and Dec 12 for a hands-on exploration of aerospace careers and STEM learning.

Our 2026 STEM Challenge, "Eggstronauts," introduces students to NASA's Artemis missions and lunar landing systems. Students will design, build, and test their own egg landers, taking on the challenge of safely landing their "astronaut" just as engineers do in real-world space missions.

With the support of these 25 dedicated STEM and industry professionals sharing their knowledge and career journeys, thousands of students will gain firsthand exposure to the exciting possibilities within aerospace, engineering, technology, and beyond.

Thank you to every speaker helping inspire the next generation of innovators, explorers, and problem-solvers.

Tomorrow our Director of Education Rosalie Wade takes the museum's story to McKinney for the MillHouse Lunch Bunch.

"Opening the Hangar Doors" pulls back the curtain on what museum education work involves: building STEM pipelines, growing girls-focused programming in South and West Dallas, and redesigning workforce development from the ground up.

📍 MillHouse McKinney, 610 Elm St.
🗓 Tuesday, October 6 at 11:30 AM

No cost to attend — just show up, grab a seat, bring your questions, and hear how Frontiers of Flight is shaping the next generation of aviation and space-STEM talent.

Hope to see you there!

Give your camper a Thanksgiving week full of big ideas!

At this year's Fall Break Camp, students in grades 1-6 step into the role of game designer. They'll brainstorm concepts, build prototypes, playtest with friends, and fine-tune their creations, using the same design process engineers use to build aircraft and spacecraft. Each day also includes a show in our SPOC Planetarium and time to explore the museum's galleries. Reserve your child's spot today!

Dates: Monday-Wednesday, Nov. 23-25
Time: 9 am-3 pm, with After Camp until 5 pm ($10/day)
Grades: 1-6, grouped by grade level (1-2, 3-4, 5-6)

Proud to share that the First in Flight Luncheon made it onto NBC DFW

Co-chairs Jan Osborn and Trina Terrell-Andrews joined Cleo Greene on Texas Today to talk about the event and the aerospace-STEM education it powers. Their leadership has shaped the luncheon, and it was a joy to watch them represent Frontiers of Flight Museum and the luncheon on air. Thank you to NBC 5 and Cleo for the platform.

Tickets are on sale for our fall Caroline Rose Hunt Lecture Series, and this year's story is one the world has never forgotten.

On Wednesday, Nov. 4, historian Catherine Grace Katz takes the stage to discuss her latest book, Shadow Before the Flame: The Hindenburg Disaster and the Prelude to War. She'll bring the passengers on board to life, dig into the 1930s German propaganda that surrounded the airship, and trace how the tragedy helped give rise to modern breaking news.

Every ticket helps bring aerospace education to underserved students across North Texas.

Reception 5:30PM | Lecture 6:30PM | Frontiers of Flight Museum

Underwritten by The Rosewood Foundation.

Yes, this really flew. ✈️

The Vought V-173, better known as the "Flying Pancake," first took to the air on November 23, 1942. Engineer Charles Zimmerman bet that a nearly round wing could lift off in a very short distance and land almost as slowly as a helicopter, which made the Navy picture a fighter that could work from a carrier deck.

Built mostly of wood and fabric, it ran on two 80-horsepower engines turning 16.5-foot propellers. Over nearly 200 flights, test pilots could never get it to fully stall, and Charles Lindbergh even took a turn at the controls.

The Navy canceled the fighter version in 1947 as jets took over. Decades later, Vought retirees in Grand Prairie spent more than eight years restoring the Pancake, and today it's on loan from the Smithsonian right here on our museum floor.

Come see it in person at Frontiers of Flight Museum, and don't forget to look up - the biplanes overhead are worth the neck strain.

🎉 Host your birthday party at Frontiers of Flight!

In the Ray and Kay Bailey Hutchison Family Hangar, little aviators can race down the runway with their friends, dream up faraway destinations, take the controls in the FOFM Airport Control Tower, and practice flying a jumbo jet.

With room for up to 30 guests in one of our two party rooms, there’s plenty of space to celebrate, explore, and make sky-high memories.

Birthday party pricing and more info at flightmuseum.com/birthdays🎈

Buckle up and get ready for a party that’s cleared for takeoff! ✈️🎂
