[Kerwin at Passrider.com] Hello From Wichita, Kansas

Hi Fellow Traveler,

If you’ve got a question, just hit reply please. Thanks for the questions you’ve sent in.

I’m in Kansas so try this in Google. Search for “the wizard of oz” and when you get the result, click on the red shoes ext to the title of the first choice. Then click on the tornado icon after that :-).

Wichita, Kansas - Air Capital

As you know, I’m visiting Wichita, Kansas this week courtesy of the folks at Visit Wichita and TBEX; Travel Bloggers Exchange.

This is my second time in Wichita; but first time out of the airport. There’s a story there :-).

Wichita is an avgeek’s dream visit. It’s home to Stearman, Beechcraft, Learjet, Bombardier, Boeing, Spirit Aviation and so many more aviation stuff.

I’m working on a full blog post, but as a newsletter subscriber, I’ve shared some sneak peek for you.

Have you ever been to Wichita?

Oh, Wichita is also home to one of the two flying B29 Bombers, Doc. the other one is Fifi. They were both at Oshkosh 2025 back in July.

I didn’t get to see DOC as it’s currently out in California at an Airshow.

Would you be interested in taking a trip to Wichita to experience some of the things it has to offer aviation-wise? Like, the Kansas Aviation Museum, a ride in Doc and possible other aviation-related businesses? If you are just hit reply and say Yes I’d be interested. This would help me to put a package together for a possible trip.

Wichita has an amazing “new” terminal; it’s 10 years old. They’ve done an amazing job with it.

Aviation-wise, I had a chance to visit the Kansas Aviation Museum and they actually opened up a new exhibit for Women in Aviation, Textron Aviation and saw the new Ascend interior the Citation M2, Bombardier’s U.S. operation, Stearman restaurant; it’s right next to a runway and Wichita State University’s aviation research. Wichita is an action-packed aviation experience.

More later next week as I put everything together.
