The mission of the Cradle of Aviation Museum is twofold: to engage all ages in the exploration of our aerospace heritage by preserving and displaying Long Island’s contribution to air and space travel; and to inspire, motivate, and stimulate our youth to be the next generation of aerospace scientists and engineers. We achieve our mission through our growing exhibit collection and our ever expanding educational programs.
Tiny Whoop Micro-Drone Races
The Cradle of Aviation Museum is proud to host Vaughn College UAV Club for its first Tiny Whoop Contest on Saturday, February 1st!
But what is a “tiny whoop”? Tiny whoops are micro-drones and they’re taking flight clubs by storm! The pilot flies their drone through a series of obstacles…all able to be viewed in real-time for visitors! Take photos, root for your favorite whoop pilot, and enter a raffle to win your own!
Free with museum admission.
