The Flight Simulators have now been operational for three weekends, and we have been very pleased with the turnout. However, the current number of operators and instructors is inadequate to consistently operate the simulators on the weekends and, on occasion, other days of the week. We are looking for people with an interest in aviation, who have good communication skills, that are willing to donate a couple days a month to help operate the simulators and help instruct customers. Some flight experience is helpful but not required, as operation and flight techniques will be provided. If this sounds like something you’d be interested in, please contact Mr. Daniel Dickey at dan.dickey@paxmuseum.org or stop by the simulators on the weekend to talk with an instructor and pick up a volunteer application!

Have a classic or modern car that you've been wanting to show off? Vehicle registration is open for the 5th annual Wheels and Wings Car Show. The show will take place from 10 am to 3:30 pm on Saturday, September 25th at the Patuxent River Naval Air Museum. Classic and modern cars, foreign and domestic, trucks and motorcycles are welcome!!

Come out for a family-friendly fun-filled day!

The first phase of the George McWilliams Naval Aviation in Space Mural Restoration Project, which involved extensive conservation of the historic mural, is finished and we are eagerly anticipating the delivery of the mural. With the help of generous donors like you, and with assistance from the Maryland Heritage Area Authority, the painting has been expertly restored to its original, vibrant glory.

The next phase of the project involves building a support structure to mount the painting and install this 12'x 22' work of art onto the wall of the Test and Evaluation Hall. We need your continued support to help us get this monumental work across the finish line. Follow us for updates and for more information about viewing the mural at the museum.
