10th Annual Gala: Saturday, April 30th:

Tickets are on-sale now for the Museum's 10th Annual Gala and Summer B-25 Rides!

Doors open at 5:30pm and activities of the evening include complimentary drinks and hors d'oeuvres, musical guest, fly-by (weather permitting), a delicious dinner and dessert, silent auction throughout the evening, and special guest speaker Captain Scott O'Grady.

As an Air Force F-16 Pilot, Captain O'Grady was shot down over Bosnia while helping to enforce a United Nations no-fly zone. Alone, facing death, capture, and the elements, Scott discovered within himself the courage to go on, relying on his skills to survive for almost six days behind enemy lines. He details the teamwork, preparation, and leadership responsible for both his survival and his dramatic rescue by the U.S. Marines. Come hear the amazing story that inspired the film, "Behind Enemy Lines."

Gala tickets are available for purchase online or at CAM.
