BT-13 Rides Day
2025-09-27 09:00 - 17:00 UTC | Lake Superior Squadron Hangar, 4804 Hammond Ave, Superior, WI, 54880, United States
With the expected weather, the BT-13 was not able to fly on the 16th. However we were able to reschedule the BT-13 for Rides on Sept 27th.
Were looking forward to a fun day of flying at the Richard I Bong Airport, where you could take a ride in a World War II Basic Trainer. The Vultee BT-13 was the basic trainer that most World War II pilots would train in before moving on to more advanced aircraft.
Most rides are currently booked, but 1-2 slots might still be open, please contact us directly if you would like to be on the standby list.
The hangar will be open for extended hours (from 9-5) for anyone who would like to visit our museum or to see or learn more about the BT-13’s important role in the 2nd World War.
