Long Island Aviation Sites

1. Long Island Aviation seeds

The seed planted in Hempstead Long Island aviation Plains in 1909 when Glenn Curtiss flew over his first gold Flyer biplane, had sprouted and grown over six to ten until eventually connects with its own floor of his moon.

Their sites of many aerospace industry, representing its general aviation, commercial, military and industry space, and geographically dispersed between Garden City and Calverton, telling journey.

2. Cradle of Aviation Museum

The Cradle of Aviation Museum, located in the Museum Row in Garden City, near the Coliseum, Nassau Community College and Hofstra University, said that the history of the aerospace industry Long Island.

Track your origin to 1979, when County Executive Francis T. Purcell has allocated funds to restore two hangars at the former Mitchel Field, seems dozens of aircraft, until it closed for renovation 1995. 130,000 square feet, $ 40 million at the opening of the 75th anniversary of transatlantic flight Lindbergh in 2002, with more than 70 aircraft, spacecraft, of which 11 are unique creations, associated or integrated into Long Island and was discovered during a search 20 years who had thrown the bottom of Lake Michigan on Guadalcanal. They had been restored and preserved, then the airline and volunteers removed manufacturer of defense, which together contributed 650,000 hours-man for the project. Result was the largest institution on Long Island, year-round educational recreational and cultural.

For New York Governor George E. State Pataki, museum visitors "can see the short period of years for Long Island maintain the fragile biplanes of 1911 to build the lunar module that took humanity to the moon in the sixties. With these views, the home becomes a mirror reflecting our strong specific skills, intelligence and ability to overcome time and space and pays tribute to innovation and the American pioneer spirit. "

The Cradle of Aviation Museum, dominated by an imposing four-story glass atrium of the Reckson Center, welcomes visitors with a combat ceiling Tiger Grumman F-11A supersonic Blue Angels livery and coach fleet biplane February 1929, which symbolically represents the upward rise of the aviation heritage of Long Island.

The bedrooms, located in eight galleries in both restored Army Air Corps Hangars 3 and 4 however, the words "Mitchel Field. Elev 90 feet "on their fronts, and Donald Everett Axinn now designated Air and Space Hall, are accessible by a second-floor walkway to the entrance of which one third mirror hanging from the ceiling of 1922 Sperry Messenger biplane designed by Lawrence Sperry Company Farmingdale air accidents.

According to the bridge plate, the "Long Island has been at the forefront of the U.S. Air Force and space adventure for the last hundred years … It all started here, in Long Island Hempstead Plains.

A drop of a flight led to the first galleries of the museum, "The Dream of the wings." Representing the triumph of robbery lighter than air craft, shows how balloons, kites, gliders, airships experiments and transformed the dream into reality the flight and his successors led to more heavier than air, lift balloon display generation, tetrahedral kite Alexander Graham Bell, a glider, Otto Lilienthal, and a wing built in 1906 Timmons Queens, are surpassing the oldest museum. An engine of 20 HP dirigible Glenn Curtiss, developed two years later, a Mineola Bike Shop, which shows, in Wright Brothers vein, technology transfer from the bicycle to airplane propellers and wings, complete the exhibition.

Los Llanos "Hempstead" gallery the next meeting, is a 1910 air meet. In the midst of the recordings to turn the propellers and faster aircraft, a collection of drawings of early the grace of the grass area includes a carpet and an original 1909 Bleriot XI, the fourth in the world, the cell still operating, a fir tree and bamboo mirror Glenn Curtiss Golden Flyer, the aircraft heavier than air flying first on Long Island, a replica of the Wright brothers Vin Fiz, Hanriot monoplane, Farman biplane, a Anzani, 1911, and a 1913 Studebaker automobile.

During the First World War, as evidenced by the following gallery the triumph of flight has been transferred to the destruction of man, that the aircraft has assumed the role of a mutual weapon, and Long Island became the center of aircraft design military testing and production during this time. This is the first aircraft acquired by Charles Lindbergh, a Curtiss JN-4 Jenny bought in 1923 for $ 500 with a coach Breese Penguin in 1918, initially only 250 other products, a state of airworthiness biplane Thomas-Morse S4C Scout with original Marlin arms, and F. First Trubee Davison World War wooden shed, which ribs Sport, discovered the cell in a Curtiss Jenny with your engine, propeller and fuel tank and a 160-hp Gnome engine Monosoupope 1916 France.

During the golden age of aviation that spanned the period of 20 years, from 1919 to 1938, aviation matured, the evolution of a dangerous sport for the viability of the commercial industry. The eclectic collection of aircraft in this gallery include the sister ship of the original Ryan NYP Spirit of St. Louis and used during the filming of the epic, Aircraft Engineering Corporation "Ace", which became the first American sports a replica aircraft a Curtiss / Sperry Aerial Torpedo, a Navy Grumman F3F fighter 1932-2 Scout, a model of Brunner Winkle Byrd A biplane in Glendale, Queens, a U.S. aerospace company Savoia Marchetti S-56 amphibians held in Port Washington, a Grumman G-21 Goose Blue, Pan American Airways livery system.

During World War II, as demonstrates his own gallery, the aircraft produced by Grumman Repubic and had been instrumental in the victory of the United States, and within six years from 1939 to 1945 cells represented about 45,000 had rolled into the production line. On display are powerless Waco CG-4 soldiers candle, which had been giving rise to soldiers behind enemy lines, a Republic P-47N thunderbolt, a Grumman F6F Hellcat, a Grumman TBM Avenger, a Grumman F6F Hellcat, the Douglas C-47 cockpit and nose turret and Sperry A-two firearm that had protected the bottom of the B-17 B-24 bombers and long range.

The pure jet engine, as evidenced by the Age Gallery Jet, has revolutionized military aviation, by providing the aircraft with unprecedented speed, range, maneuverability and ability to attack, and Grumman Aircraft Corporation has played a role in this development, has designed more than 40 types civilians and military personnel totaled approximately 33,000 cells and employ 200,000 people in Long Island. Its military aircraft, in particular, has played a crucial role in many conflicts, including Korea, Vietnam, Gulf War, the Balkans, Afghanistan and Iraq. Several models are discussed including a Grumman E-2 Hawkeye Airborne Early Warning / Air Command and Control, a Cougar F9F-7, the front of the fuselage of an F-14 Tomcat and a simulator A-6 Intruder cockpit, while the Republic of aviation is represented by an F-84B Thunderjet, F-105B supersonic fighter, and a season of A-10A Thunderbolt pilot. A Boeing 727 nose section of the cabin and a Westinghouse J-34 exhibitions around the turbine engine.

Aviation "Contemporary" Gallery Features air traffic control radar screens that highlight the congestion at JFK, LaGuardia and Newark triplex, with secondary airports in Long Island MacArthur and Westchester County in White Plains, and Farmingdale Republic Airport, the busiest general aviation field states of disconnection load.

The "exploration of outer space" gallery, which represents eight years earlier, the transition flight dramatically vacuumless atmospheric space and recognizes the contribution of the rich Long Island for the aerospace industry. Its exhibits include a series Goddard rocket, an astronomical observatory in orbit around eco adapter Grumman Grumman, a scale model of Sputnik, which was introduced by the Soviet Union, and the original team has launched the space race, a ramjet missile Grumman Rigel from 1953, a Grumman Lunar simulation module and a control module that Rockwell had been used in a 25,000 mph test re-entry into Earth 1966 before the manned Apollo.

A Room 'clean', which represents the environment in which all modules spots were made by hand, leads to the exposure of the gallery and the museum's most valuable, real, 22.9 meters high, covered with gold paper LM-13, the thirteenth and final lunar module built, beautifully lit with their feet, set in a simulated lunar landscape. Monument mechanical history, the lunar module was the first and so far the only of the probe to be carried humans to land on another planet or its moons.

The Museum Annex Gallery Jet, which shares facilities with the Museum of Long Island firefighter have a Republic A-10 Thunderbolt II, the fuselage in front of a Grumman F-14A, a whole cell F-14A Tomcat, a Grumman A-6E Intruder, and the front of the front and cockpit of an El Al Boeing 707

The Cradle of Aviation Museum is a world class facility that preserves, exhibits and interprets Long Island rich aerospace heritage.

3. Museum of American Air Power

The American Airpower Museum, located in Farmingdale Republic Airport, steeped in history. It is housed in a historic warehouse where he had been historic World War II aircraft built, and these were analyzed this historic airfield.

Republic airport itself, founded in 1928 as Fairchild airfield to be Sherman Fairchild had become too small for the continued support FC-2 and Production Model 71 had passed the torch to Grumman a five-year period from 1932 to 1937, when the engine Fairchild Aircraft Manufacturing Company and he had moved to Maryland.

Seversky, establishing a presence on the ground in 1935, has continued its tradition of manufacturing and testing aircraft, renamed the Republic " aviation "and considerably expanding its facilities with three new hangars, a control tower, and a clue. One of the leading providers of drawings military has moved more than 9,000 P-47 Thunderbolt during World War II and 800 F-105 Thunderchiefs during the Vietnam conflict.

After the acquisition Airport in 1965, Fairchild-Hiller Corporation in Farmingdale sold and became a public school the following year, and the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) to buy for $ 25 million in 1969, changed the name of the airport of the Republic, the existing runway extension from 1914 to 1932, the construction of a tower 100 meters from the FAA, and the construction of a small passenger terminal.

526 general aviation reliever airport acre, whose property was changed back to the State of New York Department of Transportation (DOT) in April 1983, has about $ 139,000,000 economic impact in the counties of Nassau and Suffolk. The base 546 190 723 aircraft movements and transitional annual registration, 93 percent include general aviation, six percent of air taxi and military per cent in a wide range of aircraft types, including single engine multi-engine, piston, turboprop and pure jet and rotary wing, and the use of its two runways, 5516 feet of runway 1-19 and Runway 14-32 6827 meters. Like New York, the third largest airport in terms of takeoffs and landings after JFK and La Guardia, and most of General Aviation, took care of 1,634 items, mainly due to the rental activity in 2005.

Amid this atmosphere, outside New Road, is the Museum of American Air Power. Hangar 3, its location, was completed in 1927, with other structures at a cost $ 500,000 and was 9,000 aa hatching Republic P-47 Thunderbolt II World War. It is therefore considered as part of the arsenal of democracy. "The museum, launched after a $ 250,000 grant from Gov. George E. Pataki and dedicated during the annual celebration Airport Pearl Harbor Day Memorial Service in 2000, was built to serve as a living tribute to the people of Long Island Veterans to honor the past and present, and create a regional tourist destination and the birthplace of Aviation Museum.

Col. Francis Gabreski, who scored most of his victories World War Republic P-47 was the highest ranking in as Long Island and had previously served as honorary captain of the museum.

In addition to the sample static in the cradle of aviation museum itself, The American Airpower Museum presents the sights, sounds and operational experiences of the combatants of the Second World War and the attacks, the first time in 54 years that the New York metropolitan area can boast such an achievement. As military aviation Williamsburg, installation accurately proclaims its mission ", the story flies."

Its diverse collection of devices includes neatly restored trainers, fighters, Navy carriers, the recognition of the oceans, bombers, and the post-war jet type II.

North American T-6 Texan, for instance, makes his first flight in 1935 and was one of the most widely used advanced fighter pilot trainer during the war.

Among the fighters, the Curtiss-Wright P-40 Warhawk, also has made its first flight this year, reached speeds of 363 km / h, and is currently delivered to Flying Tiger. No aircraft may be more comfortable in the Museum's hangar Airpower America in March, however, that the Republic P-47 Lightning, the same design has been assembled here by thousands. Take the first plane of the track a few meters in 1940 was the largest heaviest in a single piston engine fighter ever produced a single pilot, reaching speeds of 467-miles per hour. The P-51 Mustang, whose speed maximum was 30 mph less than the lightning, flew escort missions at high altitude B-17 bombers and B-24 long-term, shot down more enemy aircraft than all other The Hunting World War II European theater.

In Navy aircraft, the Grumman TBM Avenger, a torpedo Flyer company, had hunted German submarines against the coast of Long Island, while Vought FG-1D Corsair has been used by the Navy and Marines and has reached speeds of 446-miles per hour.

The Consolidated PBY Catalina, a high wing, amphibious reconnaissance aircraft flew into the sea with a crew of eight years, looking for enemy submarines. He great 2545 miles, a service ceiling 15,748 meters and 178 mph speed.

The museum of two engines, mid-range North American B-25 Mitchell bomber named "Miss Hap", was the plane that General Hap Arnold, while the general type made famous by the Doolittle raid.

The collection also includes several combat aircraft. The L-39 Albatros, for example, is a 570-mph car that was the Soviet first flew in 1968 and is still in service in 16 countries. The Republic F-84 Thunderjet, a pure fighter aircraft first, reached speeds of 620 km / h, and served from 1948 until the Korean War. The RF-84 firecracker, also designed by the Republic is a photographic reconnaissance aircraft capacity of 720 km / h Photo from horizon to horizon, and served between 1953 and 1971. The Republic F-105 Thunderchief, a plane fighter-bombers to attack, had been the most widely used in Vietnam on Form F-105D, carrying over 12,000 pounds of munitions and reach speeds of 1390 miles per hour. He worked for a quarter century, 1955-1980. The General Dynamics F-111, a supersonic aircraft, March 1.2, the variable geometry fight, his first flight in 1967, and had been around Vietnam, Libya and Iraq.

Besides the planes themselves, there are sections of the nose and cockpit, including Fairchild-Republic A-10, a Mig-21, a 18/C-45 there, and a Douglas C-47, and engines such as General Electric J-47 and an Allison V-1710.

Aviation The Second World War history also is told through film, scenes and dioramas of time, the model and extensive collection of memorabilia, vintage vehicles, a "Ready Room" a "Briefing Room", a canteen, "a gift shop, and music-related period.

Guided tours are given regularly in the historic center five-story tower located at 1943 Hangar 4. Viewpoint cottage in the middle of radio and radar equipment harvest Overlooking two tracks Republic, provides an overview of the functions of the controllers who are often vectors include coordination of the P-47, A-10, F-84S and F-105S drive in the region dense network of air base Zahn composed airport then, almost on the road, Grumman in Bethpage, Mitchel Field in Garden City, Floyd Bennett Field Naval Air Station in Brooklyn, and the plant Vought in Long Island Sound in Connecticut, a network focused on the role of nucleic Long Island in early aviation.

Due to the strength Museum collection U.S. air is mainly operating various flight experiments are offered.

Yours, and signature, the opportunity to board a Douglas C-47 Skytrain, after have been used by the Israeli Air Force, simulates the famous D-Day Allied invasion of Normandy during the early morning hours of June 6, 1944.

After donning the uniform of paratrooper helmets, parachutes and amended in the waiting room, possible bridges to go to the press room, where, amid of wooden benches and period maps, the current mission is detailed, and regrouping the necessary breathing space behind the hedgerows of France after having fallen into soil. French francs were distributed.

Cohesion, identically dressed team is now on board the twin-engine C-47 olive green, which is configured with banks wooden sides and were actually involved in operations in Normandy.

During a flight last summer of the year, the plane taxied to the airport Republic 1 and has launched its acceleration engine piston engine, roller, thus raising its tail wheel and go to the flawless blue sky, while the landing gear Retractable.

Climbing to 1,200 feet and maintain a speed of 125 kilometers per hour, twice the horses Douglas Long Island off the coast south of Jones Beach, simulating the sand, like Normandy.

Arriving at the appointed drop zone ", the head width shouted," Get Up "Check equipment!" Hold on! "And his parachute lines connected to the imminent rescue aircraft.

Parachute jumping procedures were drilled and the real 1944 event was staged. Unfortunately, realism is necessarily there.

However, after relanding, the feeling of disconnection during the days D real jump was recreated Temporary bridges and left rear, left panels, the velcro attached the lines separating the chaff with soft symbolic machine off before be induced by gravity in a cloth exponentially accelerate French soil until the surface stop dismantling their parachutes blossomed profiles.

Before the abolition of uniforms, passengers must participate in his pockets to retrieve a map that reveals the identity of their historical or twice a skydiver who had represented during the simulated mission. The parachutist, however, Real had made the leap. And the card indicates whether he lived or died as a result.

Apart from the experience of American airpower options Museum's own C-47 flight, static displays of vintage aircraft and air are planned during the days holidays and special occasions such during the Memorial Day, the anniversary of the Fourth of July, historical, and the annual report of the Aces Labor Day flight weekend, the latter designed to encourage young people to write about the virtues, victories and achievements of a friend in World War II age or a parent. The winning work is credited with bombers flying experience. MAT aircraft included the C-121 Constellation, the Berlin Airlift "Spirit of Freedom" C-54, B-17 Flying Fortress, the B-24 Liberator, the B-25 Mitchell and PT-17 Stearman, the last four were operated by the Collings Foundation.

A museum visit Restaurant after dinner to the 56th Fighter Group located on Route 110 near Republic Airport, although not affiliated with the museum itself, complements complete and update the global war history of life. Similar to a farm in 1940 in wartime English, which also carries the meals of the day, with his "mess" input, rustic wood ceilings, fireplace decorated dining rooms, World War II photographs relating to memories, and propellers; simulated bombed yard Big Band music and views replica P-40, P-47 and Corsair aircraft. The meat and seafood menu is known for its signature beer soup and cheese.

The American Airpower Museum of Aviation is a time Life Portal World War II and Long Island invaluable contribution to the victory of the latter. Lunch post-museum in the 56th Fighter Group Restaurant offers PAC, Cooking.

6. Grumman Memorial Park

Grumman Memorial Park, located on a one acre site of the former Grumman facility in Calverton Flight Test Aerospace thousand feet of one of its subjects, is, according his own description, "a deliberate effort to pay tribute to the incredible advances in aviation and space flight, which took place on Long Island Thanks Team spirit of the employees of Northrop Grumman Corporation. This dedicated group of people took aviation from the deck of the fight against a U.S. carrier Navy aircraft without first man on the moon. "

Leroy Randle Grumman, the man behind the name of the company, was born January 4, 1895 and established Grumman Aircraft Engineering Corporation 35 years later, according to the plaque in the park "in a small garage in Baldwin, Long Island, New York. He and more Later in Valley Stream, Farmingdale, Bethpage, Calverton, and locations across the country, the company has designed and produced innovative aircraft and spacecraft as for U.S. market military and civilians. "Got all these drawings were simple business philosophy of" Keep it simple … build …. safe to operate. "

The first phase of the park, completed October 28, 2000, was devoted to "preserve the legacy of the Grumman Corporation (Y) for men and women who designed, built and flew the aircraft and space vehicles soared into the sky and beyond. "

Center table mounted on a pedestal in a profile of progressive is an F-14A Tomcat. Powered by two 20,900 lb thrust, afterburner-equipped Pratt & Whitney TF30 turbofan-P-414th, variable geometry, variable geometry fighter, whose needle is between 20 degrees forward to 68 degrees in the rear position, was the 331st of the cell, Tomcat assembly line near Calverton and made its first flight song almost fingertips on 6 July 1979. Delivered two months later the U.S. Navy fleet VF-101 Fighter in Oceana, Virginia, was 2.385 gallons of fuel, including one on two external tanks of 267 gallons, and had a wide 1.191 miles without stopping. The Mach 2 aircraft had provided 25 years of service before being discharged, and was one of F 712-14 are products between 1970 and 1992.

Surrounded by inscribed bricks that make up the "Walk of Honor", the screen has several interactive features, including a sound recording in the control of visitors in its history, the sounds of an afterburner takeoff, the wing and tail light activation.

The background on the screen, part of the second phase of expansion Park is the Grumman A-6E Intruder is Across the small parking lot.
