Imagination flies high at aviation museum | pnj.com | Pensacola News Journal: "Whether they preferred paper, powered or radio-controlled, hundreds of people gathered at Pensacola Naval Air Station on Saturday to feed their passion for planes.

The National Naval Aviation Museum's second "Go Fly Zone" event at the museum featured radio-controlled airplane demonstrations, hands-on flight simulators and a paper airplane-flying competition in the museum's atrium.

Shelley Ragsdale, director of marketing for the Naval Aviation Museum Foundation, said more than 500 people participated in the free event. Though it targeted younger visitors, it was surprisingly popular with adults."
