As mobile technology is fast becoming the communications and learning medium of choice, integrating QR technology into an aviation museum experience will without a doubt improve the visitors experience. Naval Air Station (NAS) Wildwood Aviation Museum is a non-profit museum located at the Cape May Airport inside historic Hangar #1. Commissioned in April 1943, NAS Wildwood served as an active dive-bomber squadron training facility during World War II. Today Hangar #1 has been restored and transformed into an Aviation Museum that houses a number of aircraft, engines, special exhibits, and educational interactive displays.
NAS Wildwood has installed QR codes throughout Hangar #1. Visitors , by scanning the code with a smartphone, will be able to find out details and additional information about the Hangar’s interactive displays, exhibits and aircraft. Wildwood Aviation Museum is believed to be the only aviation museum in the United States utilizing this technology.
The Naval Air Station Wildwood Aviation Museum offers guided tours to groups and schools by reservation. The tours are tailored to accommodate the age and interests of the group. Call the museum office at (609)886-8787 with any questions or to make a reservation.

Born in Milan, Italy, Moreno moved to the U.S. in 1999 to pursue a career as a commercial pilot. His aviation passion began early, inspired by his uncle, an F-104 Starfighter Crew Chief, and his father, a military traffic controller. Childhood adventures included camping outside military bases and watching planes at Aeroporto Linate. In 1999, he relocated to Atlanta, Georgia, to obtain his commercial pilot license, a move that became permanent. With 24 years in the U.S., he now flies full-time for a Part 91 business aviation company in Atlanta. He is actively involved with the Commemorative Air Force, the D-Day Squadron, and other aviation organizations. He enjoys life with his supportive wife and three wonderful children.
