A new animated film from Disney will bring the world of air racing to the masses this summer, when Planes hits theaters in August. The official opening, in 3D theaters across the country, is Aug. 9, but visitors to AirVenture can see a preview screening of the film on Friday, Aug. 2, in the EAA Fly-in Theater. A real cropduster, an Air Tractor AT-301, with a fresh paint job to transform it into "Dusty," the hero of the film, also will be featured at AirVenture all week. Disney says the design of Dusty was inspired by a combination of the Air Tractor 502 and the Dromader, built in Poland.
