Historic Hangar B at Floyd Bennett Field
Historic Hangar B at Floyd Bennett Field
Saturday, November 12, 2022 - 10:00

In honor of Veterans Day  - We will go to Floyd Bennett Field to take a historic tour of Hangar B and see some WWII aircrafts where old planes are being restored.  You'll feel like you went back in time to the 1940's.  Hangar B was built in 1941 by the US Navy and used primarily for seaplanes.  The aircraft restoration efforts are the work of the Historic Aircraft Restoration Project or HARP, created and staffed by volunteers who are retired aviation mechanics.  This is a tour not to be missed!  We'll ride down to Sheepshead Bay and ride around Manhattan Beach, stopping at the Holocaust Memorial by the Bay and to Marine Park and view the beautiful property of the historic Lott House.
