Where the action is

The weather was perfect as thousands attended the Star-Spangled Open House at Martin State Airport over the weekend. The crowds got a close look at several Navy planes and enjoyed the festivities.  People also had a chance to tour the museum and kids had a fun time with special activities, including rocket building.  The museum will be open regular hours,  11 AM to 3 PM Wednesday through Saturday. The flight line at Strawberry Point again is accessible to the public.

People saw a variety of aircraft, static and flying.
