About Fantasy of Flight
Fantasy of Flight in Polk City is the creation of aviation enthusiast Kermit Weeks and houses a rotating selection from one of the largest privately owned collections of vintage aircraft in the world. The attraction operates on a seasonal, limited schedule, with a hangar of restored historic planes and a gift shop open on select days. Aviation buffs come for rare warbirds, golden-age aircraft and the chance to see Weeks' ambitious vision for the site take shape.
