Wings of Dreams – AirFest

Wings of Dreams, located at Keystone Heights Airport in North Central Florida, is 501(c)(3) charitable organization founded in 2005 by Susan King and Bob Oehl. The airport, formerly the Keystone Army Airfield, has a rich military history as a World War II Army Air Corps air base, tasked with reconnaissance pilot training, as well as preparing a squadron of fighter pilots for the Normandy Invasion. Part of the Wings of Dreams mission is to preserve the airport’s wartime history,
much of which is unknown or forgotten.

The permanent museum facility will be located on 6.5 acres at the end of Runway 5. The multiple-phase Wings of Dreams project will include a warbird restoration facility, aviation museum with space museum and aerospace education annex, outdoor youth activities park (Flight Magic Discovery Park); aviation resource library; gift shop; and restaurant (Fly By Night Cafe).

Wings of Dreams will restore and display vintage aircraft and warbirds, many to flying condition, and serve as a repository for memorabilia and artifacts from World War II, other military conflicts, pioneer aviators and the space program to fulfill its mission to educate and preserve this part of America’s unique heritage for future generations.
