The
National Warplane Museum will hold its 38th annual air show this weekend in
Geneseo. This year’s air show theme is “Wings of Western New York,”
featuring the accomplishments of the many who have contributed to the aviation
industry such as Glenn Curtiss and Calspan. The National Warplane Museum has
been expanding its educational programs, interacting more with youth groups and
working with school programs to emphasize not only the history behind these
amazing aircraft and companies, but also to encourage visitors to reach further
in their education and career goals to lean more towards aviation.
“Our special focus this year is another way we can encourage
young men and women to explore career opportunities within the aviation field,
whether it be commercial, civilian or a military affiliation.” Austin Wadsworth, President of National
Warplane Museum
