Yes, the OVCC just visited the Wright Patt Air Force museum on Veterans Day Nov. 11, however, the museum is offering the Plane Talks again on Pearl Harbor Day. Rather than make this a club visit I am mostly just announcing the event here to get the word out for those who might want to attend. I plan to attend and video record more of the plane talks by those who flew or maintained them. The chance to have a one-on-one conversation with the greatest generation is a truly rare and valuable opportunity, and one that won’t be here much longer.

There is no cost at the museum. You must wear a mask.

Plane Talks will occur a few times a year and allow visitors the opportunity to interact with various subject matter experts. The experts at these talks may include veterans, active duty, former pilots, crew members, engineers, navigators, and more. These experts will be stationed in the galleries near the aircraft or exhibit that relates to their expertise. These Plane Talks programs often occur on the anniversary of a significant Air Force or military event.

Parking is also free. If you haven’t been to the museum in years I have to mention that it is top-shelf, there is none better for aircraft.

The museum is huge, staying separated is not an issue.
