July Open Cockpit

Students get ready to jump in the cockpit of T-33.
Scores of families braved the heat and humidity on Saturday to enjoy another Open Cockpit at Strawberry Point.  As  a bonus, people got to tour the State Police MeEvac helicopter and the airport's fire truck.  Everyone seemed to emnhoy themselves
, despite the heat.
There is only one more Open Cokpit this season planned August 13, so plan ahead.

The Museum hosted state officials Friday and gave them a quick tour of the museum and Strawberry Point static line. Comptroller Peter Franchot, whose father was a WWII airman, got a close-up look at all the things the Museum is doing.  Joining him were state Sens. Kathy Szeliga and J.B. Jennings.  All were impressed what the all-volunteer organization had accomplished and offered encouragement for its future.
