From jet engines to space suits, helicopters to hot air balloons, Connecticut’s aerospace industry has played a vital role in American history for more than a century. The New England Air Museum preserves, interprets, and repairs that history, one rivet at a time. Founded in 1960, the museum is home to a collection of over one hundred historic aircraft, ranging from early twentieth century biplanes to a fully restored Boeing B-29 Superfortress. Participants will discover the history of Connecticut aviation through an interactive tour of the museum’s collection, as well as enjoy special “behind the scenes” access to the museum’s aircraft storage and restoration facilities.
