Aviation Weekend at AHM will celebrate
WWI planes, pilots
World War I aircraft will take center stage at the
American Heritage Museum, 568 Main St., Hudson
on September 17th and 18th, from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00
p.m. both days.
A special treat for visitors to the AHM that weekend will
be the unveiling of the museum’s original 1917 Nieuport 28
restoration project and plans to fly the craft each day. The
AHM is also working with several organizations to bring
and display their accurate World War I aircraft and original
rotary engines as well.
As a bonus, original rare WWI uniforms and flight
clothing worn by World War I aviators will be available for
viewing. These are part of the Parks Collection that has
been moved to the AHM. Such uniforms as that of Douglas
Campbell, American’s first ace, can be seen, as well as the
original leather flight coat of Capt. Eddie Rickenbacker.
Douglas Campbell was an American aviator and WWI
flying ace. He was the first American aviator flying in an
American-trained air unit to achieve the status of ace.
Gates open at 9;00 a.m. for the shows.
All three museums will be open: the AHM, the Historic
Aviation Hangar and the Classic Automobile Barn.
This is a rare opportunity for visitors to see some of
the world’s rarest aircraft, classic American automobiles,
historic tanks, armored vehicles, military artifacts and more.
Tank driving experiences and tank rides will also be
available over the weekend.
