Aviation Heritage Park Museum will formally open to the public on Saturday, September 23.

The event begins with a flyover by the Tennessee Pterodactyls, a team of highly skilled Swift pilots.

The flyover will be followed by the ribbon cutting, program and museum tours.

Special guests for this event will be astronaut Col. Terry Wilcutt (ret) and RADM James Finney (ret) on behalf of his brother CMDR David Finney. Finney’s and Wilcutt’s stories connected at NASA and are memorialized in the circle of honor with an historic T-38 in Aviation Heritage Park.

Wilcutt will host a Q&A inside the museum Saturday during the Grand Opening.

Dog Pen Hot Dogs will be in the park dishing up some great dogs, drinks and fun!
