When groups of non-modelers and students visit the museum, they often ask if they can have a flight demonstration.\u00a0 While we have tried to accommodate such requests in the past, it has been difficult because there was no designated flying or viewing area in the museum\u2019s immediate vicinity (there is, of course, the 1000 acres of flying area on the property, but sometimes transporting groups out on site gets problematic, and there is no provided seating, which means groups would need to bring their own lawn chairs).<\/p>\n

Earlier this month, the museum was able to purchase and install a set of bleachers, as well as a sound system.\u00a0 With the bleachers in place, groups can now sit at a safe distance while watching models fly over the grassy area behind the museum building.<\/p>\n

The sound system, which consists of two speakers mounted on the building and a cart containing the microphone and sound board will allow a spokesman to give commentary on flight techniques while a pilot flies the model.\u00a0 Visitors will also be able to ask questions into a mic, so that the commentator, pilot and other visitors can all hear, and the commentator can answer.<\/p>\n
