Going through old photos of my grandfather's from the mid twenties. He was in the Army Air Corp and was an observer and later graduated from MIT and worked at Lockheed as an engineer. I have a load of photos of aircraft and of airfields in NJ and possibly at the old Pitcairn airfield. Some of the photos even have last names written on the back. I'm hoping to scan these and if the museum is interested, I can send these scans to you.
Wings of Freedom She much be in her 20s by now
Hello Friends of the Wings of Freedom Museum. I am J.J. Paskill, your local Sky-Guy.
April has a meteor shower called the Lyrids. Late night Tuesday (21st) into the dawn of Wednesday(22nd), the Lyrid meteor shower will be a great chance to see a lot of meteors and possibly fireballs.
Here are a few facts:
Peak is late night on Tuesday the 21st till dawn on Wednesday the 22nd.
Possible amount of meteors you could see is 10-15 per hour.
Best direction to be facing is northeast in the darkest location you can find.
The "shooting stars" you will see are dust particles. The larger they are the more spectacular. Fireballs are meteors slightly larger than the norm, ranging from grains of sand to small pebbles.
This is JJ your Sky-Guy saying, get out and have fun spotting meteorites next week.
Feel free to leave a comment or question below.

"NASA’s Golden-Winged Astronauts."
It is all about the Naval and Marine Aviators in the Mercury Program. The museum holds several examples of aircraft they flew!
Back when I was volunteering a few years ago, spent a good deal of time on my back painting the wings underside and also the tanks on the real FJ4B on display..Finally got this assembled and working with that flourescent red-orange was not fun.. wouldn't trust it in the airbrush..Not the same numbers, but can't scratchbuild everything ...
