Description
Wiley Post is one of the most celebrated people of his time. He was
greeted by adoring throngs and by President Franklin Roosevelt. You
will see him dressed as he would be while flying an open cockpit
airplane. He is wearing his helmet and goggles, leather jacket and high
boots to protect him from the wind and the cold. He will tell you how
he came to get interested in flying, about his days doing stunts and
parachuting from a plane at barn storming air shows, his record setting
flights around the world, and his flights to altitudes never before
achieved. He will tell you about his troubles as a young man being a
highway robber and how he eventually straightened out his life. He will
interact with the you throughout the cruise and take questions.
