Go to Wichita, Kansas (ICT)

A quick flight lands you in Wichita—the Air Capital of the World and a perfect destination for pilots looking to mix flying with fun.

Start your visit at the Kansas Aviation Museum, located in Wichita’s original municipal airport terminal. It’s packed with beautifully preserved aircraft and fascinating stories about the city’s pivotal role in aviation history. For a breakfast or brunch worth the flight alone, head to Doo-Dah Diner, a beloved local spot known for its banana bread French toast and crispy corned beef hash. It’s comfort food at its finest, served up with small-town hospitality.

Wichita has plenty to keep you busy after a good meal. Botanica Wichita offers acres of vibrant gardens and peaceful walking paths, while the Old Town district is a lively hub of breweries, live music, and boutique shopping tucked into restored brick warehouses.

Wichita makes a great getaway, whether you’re chasing aviation history, a great bite to eat, or both. It’s the kind of place that reminds you why you Go Fly in the first place.
