NMCA Gala - May 14, 2011

Our Annual Gala on Saturday evening was an opportunity for the Museum's supporters, advisors, partners and enthusiasts to come together and celebrate the achievements and milestones of the past few months. We are moving at a fast pace now, and will soon begin preparing next year's gala. A special thanks goes to Grant Wainscott for his central and vital role not only in planning this event, but in the Museum's overall success. Board members, advisors and volunteers worked together to ensure this event was fun and entertaining.

If you are not already helping to support this effort, please use the links found on this page, the Museum's website, and our Facebook page to join in the fun!

N113FE (B727-100) Moves to the Museum's Future Site

Today was a very special occasion for the Museum. The 2nd aircraft donated to us by Federal Express was carefully moved off the airport property through winding streets to our new location about 1/2 mile away.

We could not have done it without the remarkable help of the Clayton County Police, Georgia Power Crews, FedEx Mechanics, our own volunteers, and last but not least CAVU Aerospace. These guys did a great job and thanks to Ron Crysler our Project Manager for finding them. I am sure we will be using them again.

Eastern Airlines Shut Down 20 years ago today

It was 20 years ago today that Eastern Airlines, which at one time had been the largest airline in the free world, shut its doors under the leadership of the Frank Lorenzo. It was the end of a long and very impressive history for this great airline. It was in operation from 1938 to 1991 before it's untimely demise.
