New Jersey’s Naval Air Station Wildwood is worth a visit all year long. The NAS Wildwood Aviation Museum is located inside an authentic WWII hangar and it transports guests back in time. You’ll find a variety of fun, interactive, and hands-on activities and exhibits that the entire family will enjoy. But, if all that isn’t enough, they offer fantastic special events. One is coming up soon!
Address: 500 Forrestal Road, Cape May, New Jersey, 08204
We're all looking forward to Airfest 2020 over Labor Day Weekend. (September 5 - September 6)
How? Talented actors from the American Historical Theatre will perform in costume and recount their adventures. Ms. Earhart was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross as the first aviatrix to fly solo across the Atlantic Ocean. She also actively worked to support female pilots and backed the Equal Rights Amendment. She will be discussing her travels on September 5.
Mr. Lindbergh will share his experiences flying across the Atlantic Ocean through a special performance of The Spirit of Lindbergh, based on his 1927 flight. Visitors will watch him plan his journey, navigate in the cockpit, and arrive in Paris. There will also be a Q & A and information about his life and his plane. See Lindbergh on the 6th. Both performances last approximately 1 hour.
Weather permitting, they will perform at least one formation flight around the Jersey Cape and land. The association will be showcasing a variety of planes. A meet and greet is planned.
