UPCOMING EVENTS
Sandi and Bill gave two presentations to the Litchfield Park Historical Society January of 2020. There were a total of 160 attendees in all, and most found it very interesting. They brought several props from the museum and talked not only about Lt. Frank Luke Jr. but the significance of WWI and historical people who played critical rolls in WWII. They gave them many little known facts about Frank Jr. and the war which stirred good interest.
Frank Luke Jr. (May 19, 1897 – September 29, 1918)

The Army Aviation Heritage Foundation from Falcon Field is storing and exhibiting this 1966 Bell Helicopter in our hanger. This Vietnam hero has a crash record of five times and had over 47 bullet holes,(repaired) in its body. I am getting a more detailed history on this ship for our visitors. The foundation is currently working on restoration of a Cobra helicopter that they plan to store with us in the fall. We are truly becoming a history museum. 2023 Update: The Cobra AH-1 is now fight worthy and available for rides.
