Exhibit Guide Air and Space Museums Home The museum enjoys an international reputation as one of the best anywhere. For aviation enthusiasts of all ages, PASM brings history to life. Pima Air Museum had the humblest of beginnings. The museum was conceived in 1966 and a year later the Tucson Air Museum Foundation was incorporated as an educational non-profit organization responsible for the operation of the museum. Ten years later, on May 8, 1976, the museum opened to the public as an official Bicentennial event. The tremendous effort involved in opening the museum was put forth solely by volunteers. Picture if you will, 75 aircraft in a bare desert setting with the only structure on the grounds being a small tin shack used to sell tickets. Few tickets were sold during the first few months of operation but, today, about 160,000 visitors a year tour the museum. The museum receives no government funds and is supported solely by gate admissions, gift shop sales, memberships and donations. However, the museum admits all school groups grade 12 and below, at no

No Shots Science response to skin aging. www.kappaelastin.com 500 South Apollo Drive Wapakoneta, OH Phone: 419-738-8811 1 800 BUCKEYE Tty: Statement of Purpose For one brief shining moment the world paused in wonder. The typewriters in offices across America halted as millions watched the drama unfold. Children stared in awe at the spectacle. Older citizens, who were children when the Wright Brothers made their first flight, watched the culmination of the dream. There was a pause, a crackle of static, and the radio transmission, "Houston: Tranquility base here. The Eagle has landed." Neil A. Armstrong Commander for Apollo 11, was the first man to walk on the moon on July 20, 1969. Neil Armstrong's one small step on July 20, 1969, was truly a giant leap for mankind. It began seventy years earlier in the Dayton, Ohio bicycle shop of Wilbur and Orville Wright. In one lifetime, man lifted himself from the sands of Kitty Hawk to the lunar dust of the Sea of Tranquility. The first gallery features artifacts from early air achievements and reveals Ohio's significant role in the development of flight. The hot air balloon era is represented by a balloon basket and trophy won by Dayton balloonist Warren Rasor. The large airframe suspended from the ceiling is from the Toledo II, the first manned and powered airship to grace New York City skies. A reconstructed Wright Model G Aero-boat, built in Dayton and flown from the Miami River in 1913, is an unusual reminder of the pioneering accomplishments of Orville and Wilbur Wright from Dayton, Ohio.

Admissions Subways A, C, E to 42nd St.-Port Authority Map It Official Website Overview It’s difficult to grasp the enormity of the Intrepid Sea-Air-Space Museum until you visit the gray fortress made of airliners and submarines. The converted World War II aircraft carrier is the largest naval museum in the world, with more than 25 aircraft displayed on the 900-foot high flight deck and four exhibition halls: the United States Navy Hall, Stern Hall, Technologies Hall and Intrepid Hall. New York real estate tycoon Zachary Fisher founded the museum after he rescued the USS Intrepid—one of the most battle-tested ships in US history—from destruction in 1982. He wanted to create a place for the nation’s heroes to be remembered. Today, the foundation honors soldiers and sailors and welcomes them home during its annual Fleet Week. Getting there is an adventure. From Twelfth Avenue, visitors go up stairs to a huge walkway over the West Side Highway that leads to the main entrance. Downstairs, there's the museum shop, plenty of outdoor exhibits, and a trail along the Hudson River. Keep track of the time if you're planning a late visit: The museum shuts its doors a good half-hour before the actual close time.
