East Garden City:  Cradle of Aviation Museum  OV-1 May 2018- The Cradle of Aviation Museum is located in three of five of the original hangars at Mitchell Field, one of the most historic and significant airfields from the 1920s.  It was from this location that Army bombers flew out of to sink obsolete battleships in Long Island Sound.  For the aircraft / military historian this is a very cool place!

The Empire State Aerosciences Museum is located inside part of the hangar that GE previously used for the development of jet engines.  It also has an outside display of aircraft as shown below.  The morning I was at the museum there was a lot of moisture in the air and it was overcast.  Consequently everything turned out gray. 

Located on the other side of the airport is the home of the 109th Airlift Wing of the NY Air National Guard.  While I was out taking photos this LC-130H from the unit took off.  The 109th is the unit that flies supplies and personnel to the North and South poles on scientific missions.  The aircraft are equipped with skies that can be seen on the aircraft and in the photo below.

This is the first of several pieces the museum has purchased of a Concorde model.  When complete, it will be 100 feet long.

This Supermarine Scimitar is one of only three in existence in the world.

Niagara Falls:  Niagara Aerospace Museum  UH-1    July 2007   The museum closed in January of 2008 and the Cobra as of July 2009 is no longer here also.  It is my understanding that the Museum has reopened with about 25% of the displays at the Buffalo Sabres Hockey arena.  The location of the AH-1 is unknown.
