Tour on Saturday, October 25th, at Brooklyn's historic Floyd Bennett Field.

Message from Frank Desisto:

Greetings IPMS Brooklyn!

Some of you guys know me; some do not.
Regardless, yours truly is hosting tour on Saturday, October 25th, at Brooklyn's historic Floyd Bennett Field.
As a National Park Service Volunteer in my 15th year, I sometimes go to the field for various reasons. What may be of interest to modelers is Hanger "B", which houses the HARP (Historic Aircraft Restoration Project) collection. With a few exceptions, most are "warbirds", some of which were previously displayed at the USS Intrepid Museum.
The tour will begin at approximately 0930 (AM to us regular folks) and last for about two hours. This will be followed by a drive-through tour of the field and a possible visit to the Ryan Visitor's Center, housed in the recently restored terminal/control tower.
There are no vendors so if attending, please bring food and beverages. We will chow-down at an outdoor pavilion at the field's nature center.
It is possible that we may also be able to witness flight operations of the NYPD Aviation Unit, which is stationed nearby on the old Coast Guard Air Station, but that is not certain.
Please PM me on my Facebook page if interested, for more details. I do not wish to clog this group with any back-and-forth conversations. As taxpayers it is OUR National Recreation Area, so family and friends are welcome, but no pets. Oh, and BTW, access is free.
