Historic Connecticut Airship Flight — April 23, 2024

Alicia Hempleman-Adams made aviation history with a record-setting hot-air airship flight from Murphy’s Landing Balloonport in Bethlehem, Connecticut, to Harwinton, Connecticut. The flight established three women’s world records for distance, altitude, and duration in her airship category.

Two years later, Alicia joined master balloon builder Bert Padelt aboard Atlantic Explorer for the first crewed transatlantic crossing using hydrogen as its sole onboard source of lift—fulfilling Bert’s 40-year dream.

Continue the adventure with us on November 21 at the New England Air Museum. Join us for a special evening launching the campaign for our new Lighter-than-Air exhibition. Preview our vision, hear Bert share his extraordinary Atlantic journey, and discover how you can help bring these remarkable stories of flight to life.

Reserve your place and be part of the next chapter in lighter-than-air exploration!
