*Retired Maj. Gen. Rick Goddard, who commanded the Warner Robins Air Logistics Center at Robins Air Force Base and flew 180 combat missions in the F-100, is participating in Family Aviation Day! You can find him telling his stories, stationed by his plane.*

With that being said, we will still have open cockpits and aircraft to explore, WWII re-enactors to engage with, exciting STEM activities, the Aviation Career discussion, pilots and guides telling their own fascinating stories tied with the aircraft, and much more! We can’t wait to welcome you!
