    The past few years I found that Sunday and Monday had the most flying activity. And recently they have been using their Facebook page to update everyone on their flying schedule
    for that day.

    AAM has confirmed on their FB page that the Me262 is down for maintenance, and will not be at the museum this weekend.

    Does this mean we will not have a Moose sighting either?

    I don't know...my initial reaction the other day was to skip the trip, but I'm reconsidering. I may still come up.

    Tickets are on sale now!: https://tix.extremetix.com/Online/?s...f-bf81ae382372

    They are also apparently offering parking in their lot (as opposed to parking on the side of the road) for $5 per day.

    Probably - that's to encourage purchasing in advance.

    sucks... guess i'll be spending the weekend catching up on repairs on my parent's house.
    it is mathematically impossible for either hummingbirds, or helicopters to fly. fortunately, neither are aware of this.

    From AAM's Facebook page........... "Its arrival day at AAM. Expect the Collings Foundation aircraft to arrive late today."

    Then they state the Skyraider is due in between 12:00 & 1:00PM

    Just saw a P-51 head South down the Hudson and over towards the Verrazano. AAM related?

    Probably, the Collins people were bringing a P-51 with them.

    The AAM's FB page says "They have arrived!" with a photo of the B-24 being marshaled in by one of the museum Ramp Rats.
