The American Airpower Museum (AAM), Long Island’s only flying military aviation museum, will host a day of precision flying by vintage military aircraft on Labor Day weekend, Saturday, September 5, 2020. Following AAM’s successful Grand Reopening on August 1, 2020, these iconic aircraft return to thrill aviation fans by soaring to new heights. The action will take place from 10:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. at AAM’s Hangar 3, at 1230 New Highway in Farmingdale, New York. Visitors are invited to commemorate the 75th Anniversary of the End of WWII (September 2, 1945) and applaud as the AAM honors two WWII Veterans from America’s Greatest Generation. The museum’s WWII bombers and fighters are back with exciting, family-friendly flight demonstrations guaranteed to entertain aviation fans of all ages!
These flights will feature AAM’s Grumman TBM Avenger, two North American T-6 Texans, the AT-28D5 Nomad Vietnam War ground attack aircraft, WACO biplane and, as added attractions, two Cold War-era L-39 Russian jet trainers! In addition, AAM’s B-25 Mitchell bomber, which recently finished a complete maintenance check, will be on the tarmac to fire up its mighty engines! Plus there will be tours of AAM’s Fairchild A-10 Thunderbolt II – the mighty ‘Warthog’.
AAM’s Manager, Lawrence Starr, will narrate each flight performance over our public address system. In between flights, you can get up close and personal with the museum’s fleet of WWII aircraft, jet fighters and other exhibits. Admission for Adults is $13, Seniors & Veterans $10 and Children $8. Due to the need for social distancing, admission will be limited to first come/first served; a maximum attendance of 150 persons will be allowed on the outdoor ramp area. Visitors MUST wear face masks and have temperatures digitally taken at the entrance. So bring your own lunch, hang out and enjoy the AAM experience!
