Default School project need some help

This is indeed a bizarre post. As some of you might know I am pursuing a non-aviation degree in Humanities. I have a project coming up for my American Studies class in which I have to collect an item of folklore. For those who are not familiar with the term let me define it. Folklore is a set of traditions/beliefs that is passed on from generation to generation orally and informally (like folk tales, art, remedies, architecture etc.) Anyway I live in central PA and there are so many things I could do here. But since my interest is in aviation I was considering of visiting a place like the Piper Aviation Museum in Lock Haven (in terms of aircraft designs that is passed on traditionally???). I could also try a local FBO. As I have no flying experience, I am not familiar with any traditions that is passed on orally and informally in the aviation world. I would certainly appriciate anything you professionals, CFI's, or student pilots has to offer. thanks!!!
