1 Seed Long Island Aviation
Piloted the plane seed Hempstead Plains of Long Island in 1909, planted, like Glenn Curtiss was the first topic in his biplane flyer gold had sprouted and grown over time six years, until the end of its lower part was connected with its moon.
Its many monuments Aerospace, the representation of general aviation, commercial, military and space branches and spreading geographically between Garden City and Calverton, tell themTravel.
2 Cradle of Aviation Museum
The Cradle of Aviation Museum Museum Row in Garden City, near the University Coliseum, Nassau Community College and Hofstra, said that most of Long Iceland aerospace history.
Trace its origins in 1979 when the then District Administrator Francis T. Purcell funds to two hangars formerly called Mitchel Field restoration, showed dozens of planes, until it closed for renovations in 1995. The 130,000 square feet, $ 40 millionStructure, which opens the 75 anniversary of Lindbergh's flight across the Atlantic in 2002, has more than 70 aircraft and space vehicles, of which 11 are one-of-a-kind are projections, in conjunction with, or built on Long Island and uncovered during 20 years of research, which had stretched from the bottom of Lake Michigan at Guadalcanal. They had also been restored and preserved by a retired airline and defense aircraft manufacturers volunteers who helped about 650,000 man-hours for the project.The result was the largest in Iceland long, all year round educational, recreational and cultural.
According to the New York State Governor George E. Pataki, museum visitors "may be the short period of years which has led Iceland to host the long fragile biplanes of 1911 to build the lunar module that took mankind to the moon in the sixties. This shows, the cradle in a powerful mirror that reflects our own faculties, intellect and ability to conquer time and spaceand is a tribute to the American pioneering spirit. "
The Cradle of Aviation Museum, which is dominated by the imposing four-story glass atrium Reckson Center greets visitors with a ceiling hung Grumman F-11A Tiger supersonic fighter in Blue Angels colors and a 1929 Air Fleet 2 biplane trainer, represented symbolically the continuing increase of the Long Island Aviation Heritage.
The most important exhibitions in eight galleries of the restored two Army Air Corps hangar is located at 3 and 4,with the note "Mitchel Field. Elev 90 feet" on the facade, and Donald Everett Axinn now called Air and Space Hall, second floor through a skywalk entrance accessed by a third of the ceiling hung Sperry Messenger biplane replica in 1922 designed by the Lawrence Sperry Aircraft Company of Farmingdale depends.
After the plaque is the Skywalk, "Iceland has long had aerospace adventure for the last 100 years at the helm of the All American ...started here on Long Iceland Hempstead plains. "
One flight down in the first galleries of the Museum, "Dream Wings." Shown is the triumph of the flight with lighter than air craft, shows how the experiments balloons, kites, paragliding and airships, the dream of flying became a reality and led to his heavier than air lift to the generation successor to display balloon, Alexander Graham Bell Tetrahedral Kite, an Otto Lilienthal glider and a kite made Timmons 1906Queens, the oldest museum of flight shows. A 20 hp engine airship Glenn Curtiss, he developed two years later, and a bike shop Mineola, shows that the vein, the Wright brothers' technology transfer from bicycles to airplanes with propellers and wings, the exhibitions around.
The "Hempstead Plains' gallery, the next meeting is a meeting to air in 1910. Half-speed recording and turning the propeller plane, a collection of original drawings adorn the lawnField and includes an original Bleriot XI of 1909, the world's oldest quarter, cell still in operation, a pine and bamboo replica of the Golden Flyers Glenn Curtiss was the first aircraft to fly heavier aircraft on long-Iceland, a replica of a Wright brothers' Vin Fiz, a Hanriot monoplane, a biplane Farman, a motor Anzani 1911;. "Cars" and a 1913 Studebaker
During the First World War, as it is in the gallery below, the triumph of escape in the destruction of man was to be transferred,as the plane took the role of a mutual weapon, and Iceland had long been at the center of military aircraft design, testing and production in this period. See the first plane to Charles Lindbergh, a Curtiss JN-4 Jenny was bought in 1923 purchased for $ 500, along with a 1918 Breese Penguin coach, the only one of 250 originally produced also an airworthy Thomas-Morse S4C Scout biplane with its original Marlin machine gun, and F. World War Trubee DavisonWood Hall, the coast, discovered a Curtiss Jenny with a cell of the engine, propeller and fuel tank and features a 160-hp Gnome Monosoupope, 1916 engine from France.
During the golden age of aviation, which covered the 20-year period from 1919 to 1938, experience in aviation, the spot is a dangerous sport for a sustainable economy. The diverse collection of aircraft in this gallery are the original Ryan NYP Spirit's twin, St. Louis and around theThe filming of the epic poem, an Aircraft Engineering Corporation "Ace", the American became the first sport plane, a replica of a Curtiss / Sperry Aerial Torpedo, a 1932 Grumman F3F-2 Navy fighter explorer, Brunner Winkle Model A biplane Byrd built in Glendale, Queens, an American Aviation Corporation / Savoia Marchetti S-56 amphibian species in Port Washington, and a G-21 Grumman Goose, Blue, Pan American Airways livery system. fact
During World War II, as evidenced by his gallery in question, theRepubic and Grumman plane was prepared for the decisive victory of the United States, and from inside the six-year period 1939-1945 shows about 45,000 cells had rolled off the assembly line. On display are a powerless Waco CG-4 Glider Troop, which was used to provide soldiers behind enemy lines, a P-47N Thunderbolt Republic, a Grumman F6F Hellcat, Grumman TBM Avenger a, a Grumman F6F Hellcat, a Douglas C -47 cockpit and nose area, and the Sperry Model A-2 on the lower turret, which hadprotected the lower part of the B-17 and B-24 strategic bombers.
The pure-jet engine, as evidenced by the Jet Age Gallery, has revolutionized the Air Force from their plane was a volunteer with unprecedented speed, range, mobility and offensive capabilities and Grumman Aircraft Corporation has contributed to this development, with more developed 40 civilians and military types, amounting to approximately 33,000 cells and provided work for 200,000 inhabitants of Iceland along. His militaryAircraft, in particular, had played a decisive role in many conflicts, including Korea, Vietnam, the Gulf War, the Balkans, Afghanistan and Iraq. On display are several Grumman designs, including an E-2 Hawkeye Aerial alarm / command and control aircraft, an F9F-7 Cougar, the attacker fuselage of an F-14 Tomcat and a simulator cabin A-6 Intruder, while Republic Aviation is represented by an F-84B Thunderjet, the F-105B supersonic fighter and an A-10A Thunderbolt cockpitSection. A Boeing 727 nose and cockpit section and a Westinghouse J-34 engine revs out of the exhibitions.
The "Contemporary Aviation" gallery features the radar screens of air traffic control in congested JFK, La Guardia and Newark stress triplex, together with their secondary airports of Long Island MacArthur and Westchester County White Plains, and Farmingdale Republic Airport's busiest general State aviation / reliever field.
The "Space Exploration" Gallerylast of the eight described the passage dramatic atmospheric flight and space to points along vacuumless rich contribution of Iceland to the aerospace industry. The exhibits include a Goddard A series rocket, a Grumman orbiting astronomical observatory, a Grumman echo adapter, a life-size model of the Sputnik satellite, which had been held by the Soviet Union and its original hardware had begun the race to space, a Grumman Rigel ramjet missile since 1953, a Grumman Lunar ModuleSimulator and a control module Rockwell, who was one of 25,000 mph at the Earth back in 1966 the first test of the manned Apollo used.
A "clean room" that the environment in which all the lunar modules were hand had made, resulting in the Museum Gallery and the exhibition's most valuable is a real, 22.9 meters high, covered with gold leaf LM -13, that thirteenth and final lunar modules built, lit dramatically surrounded by the legs on a simulated moonscape. Designated a historic mechanicalReference point was the lunar module was the first and so far have only spacecraft ever carried the people of Earth to another planet and its moons.
The Museum Gallery Annex Jet, which means that Iceland shares with the long Firefighter Museum, has an A-10 Thunderbolt II Republic, the forward fuselage of a Grumman F-14A, F-14A Tomcat a complete cell, an A-6F Intruder Grumman and the front nose section and cockpit of a Boeing 707 El Al
Other facilities include a museumThe seven floors, 300 seats, 76 meters wide by R. Leroy and Rose W. Grumman IMAX Theatre, the biggest domed hall the State of New York and Iceland only along the IMAX screen, the theme of Martian Red Planet Café, which shows the 1961 Grumman "Molab" Mobile Lunar Laboratory lunar surface for travel, accommodation and test development, a balcony on Aerospace Honor Roll, and the gift of Mitchel Field Outpost and bookshop.
The Cradle of Aviation Museum is a world-class facility that showcases preservedLong and rich heritage of aviation played in Iceland.
American Airpower Museum 3
The American Airpower Museum Republic Airport in Farmingdale, full of history. It is located in the historic hangar, where the historic World War II aircraft were built, and this was then tested in this historic airfield.
Republic of the airport itself, founded in 1928 as Fairchild Air Field, as Sherman Fairchild had become too small existing plant in order to further support FC-2-production and the model 71, the torch was applied to Grumman for a period of five years, from 1932 to 1937, when the engine Fairchild Aircraft Manufacturing Company and moved to Maryland.
Seversky, with their presence on the field in 1935 has continued the tradition of the aircraft build and test itself reassignment "Republic Aviation" and greatly expanded its facilities with three new hangars, control tower and a longer runway. One of the main suppliers of military projects,And 'churned out more than 9,000 P-47 Thunderbolt during World War II, and 800 F-105 Thunderchief during the Vietnam conflict.
After the acquisition of the airport in 1965 sold it to the Fairchild Hiller Corporation, Farmingdale, who turned it into a public body the following year, and the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA), the purchase of $ 25 million in 1969, renamed the Republic airport, extending the existing runway 14-32, the construction of a 100-foot FAA control tower andConstruction of a small passenger terminal.
The 526-acre general aviation / reliever airport, whose ownership changed again to the New York State Department of Transportation (DOT) in April 1983, approximately $ 139 million in economic impact exercises in Nassau and Suffolk County. His record is based 546 and 190 723 aircraft movements per year transitional period, of which 93 percent include general aviation, air taxi six percent and one percent of the military, in a wide range of aircraft types, includingsingle-engine, multi-engine piston, turboprop and jet pure and rotary wing, and use the two tracks start-off and landing: Runway 19/01 5516 meters and 6827 meters track 14-32. As the third largest airport in New York in terms of takeoffs and landings to JFK and La Guardia, and the largest general aviation, it is enplanements 1634, mainly because of the charter flight in 2005.
In the midst of this atmosphere, away from the new highway, the American Airpower Museum is located. Hangar 3, its position wascompleted in 1927, along with other cost structures for $ 500,000 and had served as a point of time of incubation approximately 9,000 P-47 Thunderbolt during World War II. The result that was once as part of the "arsenal of democracy". The museum, which was after a $ 250,000 grant from Governor George E. Pataki set up and dedicated service to the airport during the annual Pearl Harbor Memorial Day 2000, to be built as a living tribute to the veteran population of the Long Island ServicesCreate the tribute to past and present, and a regional tourist destination, together with the Cradle of Aviation Museum.
Col. Francis Gabreski, the majority of his victories in World War II P-47 has been reached, the highest ranking ace on Long Island and initially served as an honorary Commander of the museum.
In addition to static display at the Cradle of Aviation Museum, the Museum offers the American Airpower ', sounds and experiences of working placesFighters and bombers of World War II, the first time in 54 years that the metropolitan area of New York can boast such a result. Williamsburg since the Air Force, the system accurately proclaims its mission as "where the story flies."
Its varied collection of restored aircraft from trainers, fighters, carrier-based Navy, ocean reconnaissance, bombing and after WW II jet types.
The North American T-6 Texan, for example, first flight in 1935 and wasone of the most widely used advanced trainer, fighter pilot during the war.
Fighters reached the Curtiss-Wright P-40 Warhawk, which flew for the first time this year, 363-mph speeds and currently wears Flying Tiger livery. No plane could be more at home in America Airpower Museum Hangar 3, but as the P-47 Thunderbolt Republic, the same design that had gathered in their thousands. First shot skyward from the track a few feet away, in 1940, was the largestheaviest single-engine, single-piston fighter pilot ever produced and has reached 467-mph speeds. The P-51 Mustang, whose maximum speed was 30 mph less than the Thunderbolt flew escort missions at high altitudes the B-17 and B-24 strategic bombers, shoot down enemy aircraft than any other fighter World War II European theater.
Navy, the Grumman TBM Avenger torpedo bomber aircraft carrier was a German U-boats off the coast of Long Island hunted, while VoughtFG-1D Corsair was both the Navy and Marines have been used and have reached speeds of 446-mph.
The Consolidated PBY Catalina, a high-wing reconnaissance aircraft flew over the ocean by a crew of eight amphibian, an enemy U-boats tried. He had a 2545-mile range, a service ceiling of 15 748 feet, and a 178-mph speeds.
The museum is a medium-range twin-engine North American B-25 Mitchell bomber called "Miss Hap", General Hap Arnold had personal aircraft, while the way inwas generally known by the Doolittle Raid.
The collection also contains some jet fighters. The L-39 Albatros, for example, is a 570-mph Soviet coach, who flew the first time in 1968 and is still in service with 16 countries. The F-84 Thunderjet Republic, one of the first pure jet fighters reached speeds of 620-mph and served from 1948 until the Korean War. The Flash RF-84 Thunder, also designed by the Republic, is a 720-mph air-horizon to horizon photoreconnaissance PhotoCapacity served between 1953 and 1971. The Republic F-105 Thunderchief, a supersonic fighter-bomber and attack has been widely used in Vietnam in his F-105D clothing, ammunition, more than 12,000 pounds and reach speeds of 1390 mph. And 'served for a quarter of a century, from 1955 to 1980. General Dynamics F-111, a supersonic plane, 1.2 March, variable-geometry fighter aircraft, first flight in 1967 and saw service in Vietnam, Libya and Iraq.
In addition toAircraft themselves, there is the nose and cockpit sections, including a Fairchild-Republic A-10, MiG-21, a beech and a 18/C-45 Douglas C-47 engine and a General Electric J-47 and an Allison V-1710.
World War II aviation history with the help of movies, classic scenes and dioramas, a model extensively, collecting memorabilia, vintage cars, a "camera ready", a "briefing room", a "table", a gift shop, and said it was music related.
The visits are a regularsupplied to the historic, five-story, 1943 tower is located in Hangar 4. The view from the cabin, surrounded by vintage radio and radar equipment that overlooks both airports and landing runways, one look at the functions of the controllers', which often contain arrays of coordinate P-47, A-10, F 84S-105S and F-on the way to the region's network of tooth includes Air Base Airport, then practically across the street, Grumman in Bethpage, Mitchel Field in Garden City, Floyd Bennett FieldNaval Air Station Brooklyn, and the Vought plant in Iceland long sound in Connecticut, a network emphasizes the role nucleic Long Iceland aviation pioneers.
The collection of the American Airpower Museum is primarily a function, different flight experiences are offered.
Right, and the signature, the opportunity to board a Douglas C-47 Skytrain, which was last used by the Israeli Air Force, simulates the famous D-Day Allied invasion of Normandy in the early morning hours6th June 1944.
After the application paratrooper uniforms, helmets and safety gear ready in the room changed, the would-be jumper briefing room, where among the wooden benches and papers of the time, the next step to move the mission, together with the necessary grouping in France after parachuting behind hedges in land. French francs to be distributed.
Cohesion, dressed in the same team now goes on board the twin-engine, C-47 olive green, which is configured with wooden sideBenches and has actually taken the operations of Normandy.
On a recent summer flight schedule, the aircraft extended to Republic Airport Runway 1 and started his engine piston driven roll acceleration, bringing the tail wheel and devotion to the perfect blue sky, while portraying his truck landing.
Climb to 1,200 meters and the maintenance of a 125-mph air velocity, spread along the Twin south of Iceland by Douglas Jones Beach, which is similar to simulated sandNormandy.
After reaching the term "drop zone", the Go Master cried: "Get connected equipment check!" joined the paratroopers and their lines in preparation for the rescue plan is imminent.
Parachuting procedures were drilled, and the current 1944 event was said. Unfortunately, the realism was essential to stop it.
But after relanding, the feeling was the D-Day jump out during the real time as the new soldiers temporarilyrose from the back door on the left, their lines of division Velcro stuck with sweet grass, a symbolic separation of the machine before it speeds up exponentially in a dryer on French soil induced gravity, until the decryption blossomed surfaces shutdown Their parachutes are wing.
Before removing the uniforms, passengers must arrive in their pockets to make a card that had the identities of its paratroopers history reveals double or represented to recoverDuring the simulated mission. The paratroopers had done, but the jump itself. And the map shows, if he lived or died as a result.
Unlike your C-47 of the American Airpower Museum of flight experience, and opportunities antenna Oldtimers static display during the holidays and special events are planned, such as during Memorial Day, July 4th, historical anniversaries, and the annual flight Labor Day weekend of Aces, created to encourage this,Write to the youth, gains the virtues and victories of a World War-age friend or relative. The winning composition will be assigned a bomber flying experience. The air bridge "Spirit of Freedom" C-54 in Berlin, the B-17 Flying Fortress, the B-24 Liberator, the B-25 Mitchell and PT-17 Stearman, the last aircraft included the C-121 Constellation MATS four of which were operated by the Collings Foundation.
A post-museum visit to dinner at 56 ° Fighter Group Restaurantlocated on Route 110 pages and airports, although not belonging to the museum itself, is an integrated and comprehensive World War II days in the history of life. Similar to English a 1940 home in time of war the country, carrying over dinner at this moment with his "'officers mess" input, rustic, wooden ceilings, dining room fireplace decorated World War II in connection with photographs, memorabilia and props; simulated bombed out of court; big band music, and view the replica P-40, P-47 and CorsairAircraft. The menu of meat and fish is known for its signature beer cheese soup observed.
The American Airpower Museum is a living time portal to the Aviation World War II and the long contribution to victory in Iceland. A post-dinner at the museum 56 Fighter Group Restaurant offers culinary cap on it.

6 Grumman Memorial Park
Grumman Memorial Park, located in acres of the former Grumman Aerospace Flight TestPlant in Calverton only a thousand meters from one of its takeoff and landing paths, is in its self-description, "a tribute to the volunteer effort to incredible advances in aviation and space flight, which ended with the long Iceland the cooperation of the employees of Grumman Corporation. This special group of people took aviation from the deck of a fight U.S. Navy aircraft carrier first man walk on the moon. "
Leroy Randle Grumman, the man behind the name of the company had4 Born in January 1895 and founded the Grumman Aircraft Engineering Corporation, 35 years later, after the plate fleet "in a small garage in Baldwin, Long Island, New York. There are, and then in Valley Stream, Farmingdale, Bethpage, Calverton, and locations throughout the country, the company develops and manufactures innovative air-and spacecraft for the U.S. armed forces and the civilian market. "Faced with these designs, the company had alreadysimple philosophy of "keeping things simple ... build it strong .... how it works."
Phase One of the park, 28 Dedicated in October 2000 has been completed, "the legacy of the Grumman Corporation (s) for men and women who designed and built and flew the air and space vehicles, which rose in the sky and beyond. "
Centerpiece, mounted on a pedestal in a climbing gym Profile is an F-14A Tomcat. Powered by two 20 900-pound thrust Pratt and Whitney afterburner equippedTF30-P-414A turbofans, the gull-wing fighter with variable geometry, whose arrow shape varies from 20 degrees in us was 68 degrees in the rear of 331, like Tomcat to roll cell near Calverton assembly line and the first flight almost within reach of takeoff and landing, July 6, 1979. He delivered two months later, the U.S. Navy Fighter Squadron VF-101 in Oceana, Virginia, there was 2385 gallons of fuel, including that used to house two 267-liter tanks outside and had a1191-mile range of stops.

7 Completion
Along Iceland, the six decades of air travel that had begun their Hempstead Plains in 1909, when Glenn Curtiss had taken first off the Golden Flyer biplane and ended, as was the lunar module the first Sea Tranquillity of the lunar landing in 1969, is masterfully told by his first-class attractions aviation.
