Take Flight for Kids, San Jose Reid Hillview Airport, Saturday September 25, 2010! We hope you can join us!
Q: What’s Take Flight for Kids?A: Our THIRD ANNUAL massive community festival at San Jose Reid Hillview Airport, bringing together accessible activities, STEM science/tech/engineering/math, exotic animals, exotic cars, robots, great food, live entertainment, tons of community services, fire trucks, police cars, radio controlled helicopters, you name it, we’re doing it!
Q: Where is this going to be held?A: San Jose Reid Hillview Airport, 2500 Cunningham Ave, San Jose. Across the street from Lake Cunningham, and very close to Eastridge Mall.
Q: Wasn't this event going to be at Moffett Field?A: Yup, originally. But construction delays at NASA's Moffett Field forced us to move back to Reid Hillview Airport for a 3rd great year.
Q: What kind of crowds do you expect to join you?A: Families from all over the Bay Area, especially Silicon Valley. We're targeting middle school youth, especially 'underserved youth', youth with disabilities, at risk youth, etc. We're expecting between 5,000 and 10,000 attendees. It'll be packed.
Q: I heard something about free airplane rides?A: Unfortunately, insurance changes prevent us from offering free airplane flights to young people this year. BUT we expect several dozen pilots to give tours of their aircraft, so we will have a heavy aviation/aeronautics emphasis.
