This Holiday, Test Your Love and Knowledge of Flight

Greteman Group, an agency based in the Air Capital of the World, has designed an online aviation trivia game that it hopes flight enthusiasts will play again and again. And that it will inspire some good-natured competition.

It’s called Plane on the Brain. The game’s free, fun and fast. Responsive design allows you to play it on any platform: desktop, tablet or smartphone.

Powering Connection

For its clients, Greteman Group created a custom deck of aviation trivia cards that ties into the online game. The game functions independently of the cards, though, so anyone can play. Social-media-sharing functionality spreads the joy – and potentially some genial one-upmanship.

As is its yearly custom, Greteman Group is also making a donation to a deserving nonprofit. This year the beneficiary is the Kansas Aviation Museum. This national gem promotes the living heritage of flight. Teaching the next generation (and reminding the rest of us) how aviation gives wing to dreams.

“A common creative thread unites all of our holiday campaigns,” says Sonia Greteman, agency president and creative director. “Each encourages interactivity. Which, when you think about it, is the very meaning of the holidays. Sharing moments that build memories.”

Upon learning of this year’s gift, KAM President Lon Smith, immediately sent the game-site link to his board, members, staff and friends of the museum. “I’m hoping the fun people have with it prompts them to come out to the museum,” says Smith. “And, for the competitive gamers, think of the advantage they’ll gain by ramping up their aviation knowledge.”

About the Kansas Aviation Museum

The Kansas Aviation Museum preserves and promotes the birth and living heritage of flight. It is housed in the historic, art-deco terminal that once served as Wichita’s municipal airport. During the 1940s, it was one of the busiest airports in the nation. In 1944, a take-off or landing occurred every 90 seconds. Luminaries including Charles Lindbergh, Amelia Earhart, Gregory Peck, Howard Hughes, Wiley Post and many others crossed the ramp. It’s said that Fred Astaire once entertained fellow passengers by dancing in the atrium while waiting for his flight. Today, the museum houses a world-class collection of significant aircraft; a huge archive of records, schematics, photos and books; and wide-ranging aviation memorabilia. It is also home to the Kansas Aviation Hall of Fame. Building on this solid base, the museum is tackling its next challenge – to build an aircraft display facility to protect and display its priceless collection of preserved and meticulously restored aircraft, and to transform the interior of the historic terminal building into a center for aviation history, research and education to match its irreplaceable assets and to do justice to Wichita, the Air Capital of the World.
