Aviation History
|
| We have created the Alexis Park Inn & Suites with the intention of keeping aviation history alive and vital -- not just something to read about in a dusty old museum. With each luxury suite representing a different era, aviation history becomes an integral part of your stay whenever you visit Iowa City. |
| The task of keeping our history alive is ongoing, and includes several major projects, of both local, national and international interest. These include: |
| History of the Iowa City Airport |
| Opened in 1918, KIOW is the oldest airport west of the Mississippi still in its original location. Read the amazing tale of how commercial aviation began right here in Iowa City |
| History of the International Fighter Pilots Fellowship |
| Formed in 1971 by Dudley Henriques, this invitation-only honor society comprised some of the world's "Best of the Best" pilots. |
| Fly-In Aviation Museums |
| One of the supreme ironies of most aviation museums is that they can't be reached by small plane. This exclusive list is for those museums that CAN be reached by light plane. |
| Aviation Videos |
| View everything from a landing here in Iowa City, to historic plane crashes, to documentary out-takes. This page is rapidly becoming THE aviation video page on the web. |
