For those of you that weren't able to make it to the Alpha Airfest this year you really missed a great show.  Lots of great static displays, fantastic airshow, good food, lots of smoke and noise.  Everyone seemed to have a fun time.  The museum set up a booth with the Civil Air Patrol with several activities for the kids.  I think we probably had over 500 kids go through the booth.  Kids sat in the bomber, tried their luck at making things fly in our wind tunnel, made and launched straw rockets and tested their aircraft landing skill with the CAP landing simulator. We also talked to a lot of old timers that had flown or worked on some of the types of aircraft that were on display.  Many interesting stories.  Thanks to all of our volunteers that helped on the booth.  We couldn't do it without you.
