We’re taking off — because “American Spirit” always goes bigger!
Look up to the sky — impressive light aviation performances will be waiting for you above Druskininkai. Skilled pilots will create elegant maneuvers, colorful smoke trails and unforgettable moments high above the festival grounds. And who knows — you might even witness a special surprise, such as a parachute jump with the American flag!
And that is not all. During “American Spirit 2026”, you will have the opportunity, for an additional fee, to take a flight in an airplane, a helicopter — or maybe even try both!
Have you ever seen your own car from above?
Can you imagine what hundreds of American cars look like in one place when viewed from the sky?
During the flight, a professional pilot-instructor will introduce you to the aircraft, explain the basics and details of flying, and give you a short but unforgettable escape from everyday life. It is a perfect opportunity to feel true freedom, see Druskininkai from a new perspective and enjoy the unique festival landscape filled with American cars.
This is an experience for those who want not only to enjoy the event from the ground, but also to see it from the sky.
