Mobility’s Hometown’s community partners have come together to put on a variety of displays related to the Altus community, the military and initiatives related to the advancement of education, including Science, Technology, Engineering and Math exhibits.
Looking to take a flight in a piece of history? Book a ride on the B-17 Texas Raiders or an AT6 Texan/SNJ on Sunday, Oct. 2 at the Quartz Mountain Regional Airport in Altus. In cities across the U.S., vintage military aircraft rest quietly in museums, where school children and tourists admire them, take their pictures and leave them behind closed doors at the end of each day. On Oct. 1 and 2, aviation history blasts out of the museums and into the skies as the Commemorative Air Force thunders into Altus.
