Cessna Aeroduel Arena
Wichita, Kansas
This aeroduel arena, one of a handful of such facilities in the United States,
was built in 2043 near the Airtech factory in Wichita, Kansas. Originally
used as a test area, the facility then turned into a part-time aeroduel arena,
due in small part to the strong aero dueling enthusiasts living nearby. It's
open from April to October, with microplane events heavily featured.
The Cessna facility is noted due to it's location and
association with Airtech. Due to coverage and sponsorship, the Cessna is often
the site of regional and national aero duel championships and well as exhibition
events.
