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.

Put a Tomcat, Blackbird and Nighthawk in YOUR room!
During this special summer session on Wednesday, August 29th, the Western Museum of Flight (WMoF) and Pacific Coast Hobbies will help you create and build these models of historic American aviation. You will take home the model you build.
The F-14 Tomcat was a supersonic, twin-engine, two-seat, variable-sweep wing fighter aircraft developed for the U. S. Navy. The SR-71 "Blackbird" was a long-range, Mach 3 aircraft developed by black ops project of Lockheed Skunk Works. The F-117 Nighthawk was a single-seat, twin-engine stealth ground-attack aircraft operated by the U. S. Air Force.
This event is presented with cooperation of Pacific Coast Hobbies whose staff will be on hand to assist with model building and answer technical questions. You can build as many models as you like. Each model is $10 but it’s yours to keep!
Don't forget you also receive free admission and a guided tour of the WMoF.
Please email the museum at info@wmof.com or call 310-326-9544 to make your reservation. Pay at the door. Registration deadline is August 29th.
