Parachute Museum Receives Airworthy Donation

Updated: Dec 17, 2022

First test flight scheduled for this week:


Just inside the door to the Aviation Trail Parachute Museum is a donation box where visitors can deposit coins and bills to help support the mission of the museum. When counting the contents at a recent board meeting the Aviation Trail treasurer noticed a special object among the donations. It was a dollar bill folded into a paper airplane. The craft features meticulous design, graceful symmetry, and precise folding techniques. This fine example of flying legal tender will soon make its first test flight to a local bank. Aviation Trail thanks the donor for such an entertaining way to help the cause.
