Join us on Saturday, Aug. 15 for the arrival of a vintage DC-3 airliner at the Aviation Museum of N.H. The landing of this historic aircraft (built in 1940 for American Airlines and still flying today!) marks the end of our 'Around the World Flight Adventure,' which departed the museum on May 1 as a remote learning project for N.H. students and teachers. Festivities start at noon with live music. The DC-3 arrival, scheduled for 12:30 p.m., will be marked with a water cannon salute courtesy the Airport Fire Department. Manchester Mayor Joyce Craig will be on hand to present the Key to the City. And there will be cake!

Update on Student Plane-Build Project
As of Monday, March 16, 2020, the Manchester School of Technology is closed due to the coronavirus threat. During this time, our student plane-building partnership is on hold, as the health of our students and volunteers is of prime importance. We look forward to resuming the aircraft build as soon as conditions permit, and will provide update as this situation develops.

Museum Bringing VAN's RV-12iS Build Program To Manchester Schools
The Aviation Museum of New Hampshire, along with the Manchester School of Technology and Tango Flight, is developing a program in which a team of high school students will build and complete an actual flyable airplane during the 2019-20 school year, and then another aircraft each school year following that.
In a rapidly changing global economy, it's important that education provides young people with the tools, training, and ability to think creatively and to innovate. For students at the Manchester School of Technology, the experience of building an actual flyable airplane will provide a unique capstone project — one that takes STEM-related disciplines such as math, science, and engineering out of the classroom and into the practical realities of the workshop. The Aviation Museum's student plane-build partnership with the Manchester School of Technology and Tango Flight will involve the community in supporting STEM-related projects to prepare young people for tomorrow. It allows everyone to work together in an exciting, challenging, and possibly life-changing way. FOR MORE INFO CONTACT JEFF RAPSIS: This email address is being protected from spambots.
