On the first Saturday of each month, and on select mid-month Saturdays throughout the year, the Museum conducts a number of presentations on historical subjects related to aviation. The first Saturday “Living History” events typically revolve around a specific aircraft and include discussions, panels, and presentations of that aircraft’s role in history and the characteristics that made it unique. Mid-month events tend to focus on a particular aspect of aviation. Past subjects include, “The History of the Cal-Aero Flight Academy” or “Women in World War II.”
