TUPELO, Miss. (WCBI) – People in the Tupelo area were able to get an up-close look at some high-flying opportunities.

Universal Asset Management (UAM) hosted its inaugural Aviation Community Day, combining family fun and the opportunity to explore the thrill of flying.

UAM shows families in Tupelo how to have fun with aviation through a variety of activities.

“There are some people out here who have never flown, and the excitement on their faces,” Catrese Alston, UAM Executive Office Manager, said. It’s just to give them that experience and actually tour through these airplanes. They may not be able to fly in the air, but at least they’ll be able to sit in the cockpit, so it should be so fun.”

The free admission event included airplane tours, aviation exhibits, and several vendors.
