If your holiday wish is to go flying with CNN reporter (and pilot) Miles O’Brien or to have aviation photographer Paul Bowen personally autograph a copy of his classic book “Air to Air” for you, then Build-A-Plane’s eBay auction site is the place you’re looking for. You can also bid to share a talkative lunch with aviation writer Bill Cox, fly a P-51 Mustang, or take an aerobatics course. Purchases at the site support Build-A-Plane’s mission to help kids learn science, technology, engineering and math by building real airplanes. New items are being added to the auction all the time, says Build-A-Plane President Lyn Freeman. “The proceeds from this unique fundraiser, something totally new and different for aviation, will help us continue to help kids,” he said.
Build-A-Plane has more than 70 projects in schools across the U.S.
