On Friday, August 12, 2022 a group of engineers and engineering students/interns from Air Force Research Laboratory and various other departments at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base visited the Aviation Trail Parachute Museum for a presentation and tour.

Parachute expert Dr. Jean Potvin, a physicist at St. Louis University (seen in the photo seated at the right), and Randy Zuercher, Curator of the Parachute Museum (standing by the lectern) conducted an introductory session and discussion, and then led the group on a tour of the facilities.
