Thunderstorm Hits Museum

Yesterday the museum experienced a freak thunderstorm which damaged 15 aircraft and flooded some of the interior of the museum. Museum staff and volunteers implemented an Emergency Plan that was developed as part of our Accreditation application. This, and the hands on effort of everyone that was here averted what could have been a major disaster.  Nothing in our Collections was damaged and all the aircraft is reparable. Thanks team! Hope we don’t ever face this again…but we will be ready.
