Celebrate Father’s Day and International Drone Day on Sunday, June 19, at West Chester’s American Helicopter Museum and Education Center (AHMEC) FatherFest 2016.

Featured activities will include a Drone Racing Extravaganza by Skygear Solutions of Wilmington. Additionally, helicopter rides, classic car and motorcycle shows, rides, games, magicians, and more will delight kids of all ages. And “Star Wars” characters will wander through the crowd.

Vendors and crafters will offer unique items for purchase. Food trucks will sell offerings ranging from pizza and hamburgers to water ice. Museum tours will include historic and experimental rotary wing aircraft and multimedia, hands-on and children’s science exhibits.

If you’re still stumped about what to get your father, the museum suggests that a helicopter ride is far superior to another ugly necktie or more tools. For $60, you can send him flying over beautiful Chester County.

Expected to be the museum’s biggest event to date, FatherFest will be held from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the museum, located at 1220 American Boulevard. Tickets are $10 apiece. See the website at http://www.americanhelicopter.museum/ to purchase tickets via PayPal, or call AHMEC at 610-436-9600 for more information.

The American Helicopter Museum and Education Center is the nation’s premier aviation museum devoted exclusively to helicopters. Established in 1996, the nonprofit organization collects, restores and displays rotary-wing aircraft, including over 35 civilian and military helicopters, autogiros and convertaplanes.
