Do you ever wish our airplanes could talk? If so, come mix and mingle with Aircraft Ambassadors stationed throughout the Museum at this special event. Spend time inside the iconic Lockheed L-1011 TriStar fuselage, hear early aviation stories with the Stinson Reliant, walk through the legendary DC-3, and explore the impact the Boeing 767 had on Delta’s global growth. A Delta TechOps representative will also be on hand to connect our historic fleet to the aircraft flying today.

Special guests include:

• Art Arace, builder of the Museum’s replica Huff Daland Duster
• Diane Carvelli, who spearheaded Project 767 along with two fellow flight attendants
