Cradle of Aviation Museum

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Cradle of Aviation Museum is an aerospace museum located in Garden City, New York on Long Island to commemorate Long Island's participation in the history of aviation.

Exhibitions

It contains over 60 aircraft and scale models of airplanes from various time periods, including Charles Lindbergh's original trainer aircraft, the A-10 Thunderbolt II and Grumman F-14 Tomcat, and an actual unused Apollo Lunar Module, LM-13.

Tours

Many of the tour guides worked at Grumman Aircraft Engineering Corporation's Long Island facility, and Grumman has contributed much to the museum, including the Lunar Lander.
