Members of the Experimental Aircraft Association and the Academy of Model Aeronautics now have free admission at the museums for each of these associations.
The free admission will apply at the EAA Aviation Museum in Oshkosh, Wisconsin, as well as the National Model Aviation Museum in Muncie, Indiana, the AMA’s hometown. Members of either organization can show their current membership card at the admission counter to receive free admission to either museum.
“EAA and AMA members share so many aviation interests that it makes sense for us to welcome members of either association to our museums,” said Ren Scott, EAA’s manager of partnership development. “Aviation enthusiasts are always seeking new experiences wherever they travel and this reciprocal agreement gives that opportunity while building on the close working relationship between EAA and AMA.”
“This arrangement is a natural extension for the close relationship between model aviation and recreational flight,” added Chad Budreau, AMA executive director.
The EAA Aviation Museum in Oshkosh features approximately 100 aircraft on display, encompassing the entire history of personal flight, according to EAA officials.
The National Model Aviation Museum is a seasonal operation in Muncie that is typically open from June through mid-September. It is dedicated to the preservation of flying model aircraft and features exhibits on free flight, control line, and radio control models. The museum also features virtual tours and digital collections available year-round.
