| "The Spirit of Flight: The History of Aviation Through Art" is an exhibit that chronicles the history of a variety of aircraft and aircraft carriers from their earliest beginnings right up to today's modern airplanes.
This exhibit features more than 50 pieces of artwork, most of which are signed by the pilot or crew of the plane being depicted. In addition to the visual materials, the exhibit features a variety of artifacts.
Visitors also have the chance to climb into three full-size aircraft cockpit trainers and make believe they are flying on or off of a carrier.
Of special interest are three impressively large models of U.S. Navy warships. These include a 9-1/2-foot-long model of the USS Wisconsin, an 8-foot model of the USS Nimitz and a 6-foot model of the USS Arleigh Burke.
The exhibit also includes a display about Drs. Walter and William Good, two brothers who grew up in Kalamazoo and developed the Guff-the first successful radio-controlled model airplane.

The exhibition is the first organized in the U.S. to present a comprehensive overview of the beginnings and development of this important art form.
This exhibition features 65 Chinese woodblock prints.
