Flight Fest!
Sat. September 24, 2016:
The 3d Annual Flight Fest was a huge success! There was music, food and fun for all ages - and of course, a celebration of Glenview Aviation history and of our Veterans! Glenview Hangar One Foundation and BIHG rolled out the new $40,000 PHASE 1 fundraising effort to raise money for a Feasibility Study for a site adjacent to the Park Center in Gallery Park. This is the next step in the planning of the proposed new NASG Museum and Flight Academy - thanks to all who contributed to the success of this day, including sponsors Indestructo Party Rentals, Berkshire Hathaway and Windy City Flyers! To donate to the PHASE 1 funding goal, please visit the GHOF website or use the GHOF website link on our "Contact Us/How to Help" page.

The Glenview Park District presented a new community event: Flight Fest!

The event was a huge success, drawing an estimated 7,000 visitors - a great time was had by all!
