Guest speakers and hands-on activities highlight remainder of 2025 EAA Aviation Museum event schedule

Speaker Series rounds out 2025 with three significant speakers from different sectors of aviation:

• September 11 will be the annual 9/11 remembrance presentation. David Norman, a New York City Police Officer who served as a first responder that day, will share his experience.
• Scott Biggs will be presenting on the Boeing E-4 on October 16. Known as the “Doomsday plane” the E-4 is an airborne command post which carries a series of strategists and communications aides to ensure peace.
• Tyler Shaver, director of operations at the Combat Readiness Training Center, Volk Field Air National Guard Base, will be the final speaker of the year on November 20. Shaver will share an in-depth look at the F-35, one of the newest and stealthiest aircraft in the U.S. inventory.

Speaker Series events are free to attend for EAA Members and $5 for non-members.

Space Day returns on Saturday, October 25. Kids and adults of all ages can channel their inner astronaut with space-themed activities across the museum.
