Local collectSPACE readers are encouraged to attend to support the HOF that night. It should be a great event and I have been asked (and have accepted) the invitation to pitch into the program by displaying some flown artifacts from the three manned Skylab flights.

Please consider joining us!

In celebration of the 40th Anniversary of the beginning of the Skylab Program the Aviation Hall of Fame announced that on Friday August 30, at 7:00 PM, Joe Lennox, human spaceflight expert, will present a multi-media retrospective here at the museum.

Founded in 1972, the Aviation Hall of Fame & Museum of New Jersey is dedicated to the preservation of the Garden State's distinguished, two-century aviation and space heritage. The men and women, whose outstanding aeronautical achievements have brought worldwide recognition to the state, are enshrined in the Hall of Fame. The Port Authority of NY & NJ generously supports the museum by providing the space for the Aviation Hall of Fame.
