| Description | FACILITYThe Empire State Aerosciences Museum reveals the history of flight and New York State’s impact on the development of aviation. The museum is located on the Schenectady County Airport, one of the earliest consolidated airports in the country, where Charles Lindbergh landed in 1927. During the 1930’s, it was an aircraft manufacturing site and became a military training base during World War II. Aircraft research and development conducted here was so important that the first jet airmail started from this site in 1946. With the establishment of the General Electric Flight Test Facility and the Malta Rocket Test Station toward the end of WWII, it became known as “The Little Peenemunde of the US” because of its rocket and jet research and development. The museum site and buildings are part of this heritage.EXHIBITSOutside, the Museum has an extensive collection of aircraft, including:- Bell UH-1 Iroqouis - Douglas A-4 Skyhawk - Douglas F3-D Skyknight - Fairchild A-10 Thunderbolt II (Warthog) - Grumman A-6E Intruder - Grumman F-14 Tomcat - Grumman S-2 Tracker - McDonnell-Douglas F-4 Phantom - McDonnell F-101B/F Voodoo - Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-15 - Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-17 Fresco - Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-21 Fishbed - North American RA-5C Vigilante - North American T-2 Buckeye - Northrop F-5E Tiger - Republic F-84F Thunderstreak - Republic F-105G Thunderchief - Supermarine Scimitar - Vought A-7E Corsair The main galleries contain some of the more fragile aircraft, detailed models, dioramas, historical artifacts and memorabilia, and photographic displays. A sampling of the exhibits are the recently completed lunar landing and arctic exploration exhibits; the DePischoff "flying motorcycle"; the Amelia Earhart Exhibit, and a 32' scale model of the Japanese aircraft carrier "Akagi." The Museum also contains some hands-on exhibits including a mock-up of a 1910 Von Pomer airplane, electronic "spotter" aircraft identification, and a Simulated Reality Vehicle (SRV), which treats occupants to a video and “ride” that makes them feel as if they are part of the action. The Restoration Center houses aircraft in various stages of restoration. In addition, the museum boasts the most extensive aviation library in the state, with a wealth of publications, aviation art, and aviation records. |
