Subject: Our Avenger has Returned to the Skies!

Join Us for its Dedication May 31

Our Grumman Avenger completed its first post-restoration flight on May 1.

Piloted by James Bradley, the successful flight was a testament to the efforts of the volunteer restoration crew, along with staff, who have rebuilt it over the past 17 years.

Congratulations to everyone involved!!
