An old cliché’ that time has passed: “A Kodak Moment” would be apropos here. This is the WMoF event you want to bring your cameras and your kids. A photo op of history.
You’ll see planes that have prepared thousands of winged war-fighters through multiple conflicts. Visit with the aircraft and their pilots.
As a special bonus (Noon) noted aviation photojournalist Frank Mormillo will make a fascinating presentation on Military Trainers.
Capture history while you still can.
Refreshments and souvenirs available.
As always, WMOF Members are free; non-members are $5, which also includes access to WMOF museum exhibits. Free parking. BTW, a WMoF membership (www.wmof.com/newmem.htm) can be yours for as little as $50 annually giving you one-year unlimited FREE admission to the WMoF museum, all the Celebrity Series Lectures, Quarterly Newsletters, access to the research library and access to Special Events.
