Hats off to exemplary aviator

Joe Toskes, right, accepts FAA award.
 Museum member Joe Toskes has received a Federal Aviation Administration certificate for 50 years of flying without an accident.  Joe began flying as a youngster at Harbor Field and thanked those who helped him over the years. Joe has been very generous with his time and resources while taking on several projects for the museum. When not flying, Joe can be found working on a restoration project.

Family members and several people who knew Joe over his aviation career showed up at a reception held at the museum to applaud his special honor.
