Women of Aviation Exhibit

Grand Opening

Join us on Friday, August 19th at 2:00pm for a special event as we open the Women of Aviation exhibit on our 3rd floor.

We will be going by several key women of aviation, including Wichita's very own Rosie the Riviter, Connie Palacioz.

Thank you to our sponsors from the Fidelity Bank Foundation & Evergy for helping make this exhibit possible.

"Every takeoff is optional. Every landing is mandatory."

Summer is coming to a close quickly and we have a busy few weeks ahead in August. Between baseball, Rosie the Riveter, Women of Aviation, and a special Little Aviators on the 12th, you don't want to miss out coming to KAM.

We have some new merchandise in as well. It's a great time to stop in the gift shop and purchase some new KAM Merch! We have a new Starship Tee as well as a great KAM tumbler.

We are grateful to everyone who has been a part of making the 2022 summer a blast. We hope you have enjoyed visiting, and hope you follow along as we continue to expand our exhibits in the coming months.

Don't forget, memberships are 30% through 2022.

Sincerely,

Ben Sauceda

Kansas Aviation Museum

Executive Director
