Take a Trip To Connecticut: News from the New England Air Museum

Our next Open Cockpit Day will be held this Sunday - Father's Day
We expect to open nine aircraft, the Boeing 707 simulator and the fully operational Ercoupe simulator. Youngsters will have the opportunity to construct and launch water rockets and a food vendor will be on site all day.
There will be two presentations in the Conference Center and several exhibitors will be out on the Museum floor. Additionally there will be presentations made throughout the day by the staff of the FIDELCO guide Dog Foundation. They will bring adult dogs and puppies in training and will have an activity for children and information on their organization.
Finally - there are three additional aircraft that have been placed on display in the Military Hangar - the freshly painted Doman Helicopter, the MiG-15 and the PT-22 trainer. We hope to see you on Sunday!
