As the 4th of July approaches, we would like to let our patrons know that we will be closed so that our volunteers and staff can enjoy the holiday.

To commemorate Independence Day, I'd like to share a memoir by Robin Olds, he is recognized by the American Fighter Aces Association as the only pilot to "make ace" in both the P-38 (5 victories) and the P-51 (8 victories). This book is one of many examples we celebrate the coming holiday.

Schedule a flight in our B-25 Mitchell: It was the first army plane to see action on every fighting front of WW II, the first to sink a submarine, and the first medium bomber to fly from a carrier deck. Yet it was designed in just 40 days, without wind-tunnel tests or prototypes.

The plane’s initial flight occurred in August, 1940. Designed to carry a 3,500 pound bomb load and a crew of five, it easily carries a heavier bomb load at a cruising speed of 200 mph, with red-line at 340 mph. Its wingspan is 67 feet, 6 inches, with fuselage length of 54 feet. It measures 15 feet, 9 inches from the runway to the top of its twin tails. The B-25 empty weighs 20,300 pounds, but when loaded to capacity weighs 35,500 pounds.

Two Wright Cyclone engines—each delivering 1,700 hp—drive Hamilton hydromatic propellers. Grumpy is fitted with a special bomb bay ferry fuel tank allowing the aircraft to remain airborne for over 11 hours.

We will remain closed from Christmas Eve through January 2, 2023. Please visit us beginning Tuesday, January 3rd.
