Planes, Trains & Automobiles

Planes, Trains, & Automobiles is a fun, family-centered day at the Plant City Airport that introduces people not only to aircraft and aviation opportunities but a wide variety of “how things work” displays and fun educational activities to capture the imaginations of our local youth.

Featured highlights will be numerous real aircraft on display, radio-controlled aircraft displays and demonstrations, a large car show, and operating model train layouts. A major LEGO display is scheduled featuring all modes of transportation. First responder vehicles and personnel along with train safety vehicles and equipment will also be in the lineup. There will be many hands-on stations for kids, including STEM education exhibits and flight simulators from SUN ‘n FUN’s Aerospace Center for Excellence, Young Eagles discovery flights conducted by Plant City Experimental Aircraft Association Chapter 1178, Scout merit badge opportunities, a pinewood derby, and many other activities. Younger children will enjoy inflatable bounce houses and other fun adventures just for them! Food trucks and local vendor displays will also be part of the lineup where area businesses can showcase their products and services to attendees.
