Annual Fall Mixer

Saturday, 18 September 2010, 5 p.m.

Join us for our annual mixer to hear the latest museum news, fly our simulators, enjoy hors d'oeuvres, and win a door prize. You'll also be the first to see (and buy!) the fourth giclee in the museum foundation's limited-edition aviation art series. This archival quality print is made from an original oil painting called "Clear Guns" painted by Delaware artist, Paul Rendel. It depicts a B-17 ball turret gunner. Paul used our B-17 "Sleepy Time Gal" as his model!

And, if you're interested in Dover AFB, hear the most current news in a "state of the base" address from one or both of the base wing commanders!

If you're a squadron commander level member or above ($100 annual dues), the mixer is free! All others pay $10.

 

Raffle: Outhouse Mouse
Aviation Art by Dave Godek

Saturday, 18 September 2010

If you'd like to own a great example of aviation art, buy a chance to win "Outhouse Mouse," a painting by aviation artist, Dave Godek. This 52" x 32" custom-framed oil portrays "Outhouse Mouse," the first B-17 to be attacked by a German jet.

The painting is available for viewing in the museum entrance hall. Tickets are available for $5 each in the store or from Foundation board members. For more information call 302-677-5939.

The drawing will be at the museum's annual mixer on Saturday, 18 September. You don't have to be present to win!

 

Hangar Flying

Sunday, 17 Oct 2010, 3 p.m.

Join us for our next educational and entertaining installment of Hangar Flying. Meet Clarence E. "Wogy" Wolgemuth, a fighter pilot in the U.S. Army Air Corps in WWII.

Assigned to the 80th Fighter Squadron, Wogy earned three Air Medals, a Bronze Star, a Presidential Unit Citation, and campaign ribbons with battle stars for a half dozen or more U.S. battle campaigns from the Bismarck Archipelago, through New Guinea, and north to the Philippines and China.

In his book, World War Two Memoirs of a Fighter Pilot, Wogy writes that the "80th FS was one of the elite fighter squadrons in the U.S. Army Air Forces during WWII with 10 Aces and a superb combat record."

So if you think listening to a World War II fighter pilot tell stories is a great way to spend an afternoon, come on out and join us. Hangar Flying doesn't get any better than this.
