I know alot of you guys will only do a meet if there is a "drive" involved but i figured id get your input anyway on this idea. Well it was this past Sunday afternoon and as i was driving to Ludlow MA on 91 N, i saw a sign for the New England Air Museum and i just thought to myself, that would be a cool place to go with a group of friends to check out! Let me know what you guys think! We can do this on a sat or sunday as they are open all weekend till 5pm. We can also get a "group tour" with a tour guide too! Then of course we can get lunch somewhere as a group! So let me get your input on this !!!

How To Find Us
`


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Planning Your Visit
The Museum is situated in two large display buildings consisting of more than 75,000 square feet of exhibit space. In fair weather, the outside storage yard is available for touring as well.

It is recommended that you allow at least 1 1/2 hours for your visit, though hard-core aviation enthusiasts will want to spend several hours viewing not only our aircraft and engine displays, but our many fascinating exhibits on such diverse topics as the History of Sikorsky Aircraft, Early French Aviation, a History of Air Mail, the Tuskegee Airmen, the Flying Mollisons, and many others.

We have a small dining area with snack vending machines and aviation-related arcade games for the kids. A variety of restaurants can be found on nearby Route 75.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Research Library
Hours: Every Tuesday and the 2nd and 4th Saturday of each month, 10:00am - 2:00pm. Subject to staff availability, please contact the Museum at the main phone number to verify. Open to both members and non-members.

The library has in its possession thousands of books, periodicals, tech manuals, and National Air & Space Museum photos on laser disk, cataloged and available to researchers. Additional materials such as photos, microfilm, and movies are cataloged on an ongoing basis. All research aids are located in a Reading Room while the stacks are open to library personnel only.

The all-volunteer library staff is available for research inquiries on a part-time basis during the hours listed above. A reasonable fee will be charged for research and document reproductions. Please contact the staff by phone or mail only at the address and phone number listed at the top of this page.
