We just recently visited the Cradle of Aviation Museum in Garden City, Long Island, New York.
While it is no where near the size of the fabulous Air and Space Museum in Washington, D.C. it is only about thirty minutes from our home and it was an enjoyable way to spend a cold Winter morning.
The Museum contains over 60 aircraft and scale models of planes from various time periods.
It is located on land once part of Mitchel Air Force Field, Roosevelt Field and Hempstead Plains where the start of many historic flights took place.
Many of the tour guides and restoration workers formerly worked at Grumman, which contributed much to the museum.
This gallery will show a small portion of the many sights we saw there.
