Saturday 17th & Sunday 18th August 2019<\/strong><\/p>\n The preparatory work for the 2019 Copter-Fest 19 event on Saturday17th & Sunday 18th August 2019 is now almost complete. Over the years the museum has built up a good selection of helicopters in its collection; something that was added to with the Puma, Chinook and Lynx helicopters coming into our care during 2018. These rotary exhibits now represent around 10% of the museum\u2019s overall collection.<\/p>\n The raised levels of interest in such rotary exhibits and visiting helicopter \u2018traffic\u2019 encouraged us to launch our new Copter-Fest event. The Sunday event will coincide with the 2019 International Helicopter Day, which is celebrated around the world.<\/p>\n During Copter-Fest the museum will celebrate the helicopters in its collection and give visitors the chance to take a look inside them, something that is not always possible.<\/p>\n Copter-Fest 2019 is open to the general public and museum trustees, volunteers and staff have put together a range of visiting special displays and activities. In addition to the helicopter viewing opportunities a number of museum aircraft will be open for people to visit. A small additional charge will be made for each aircraft visited (proceeds towards the museum\u2019s various aircraft restoration projects).<\/p>\n Newark Air Museum helicopter exhibits<\/strong><\/p>\n Bensen gyrocopter: G-ASNY Visiting Displays<\/strong><\/p>\n Mainly Military Models display Normal museum admission rates apply: Adults \u00a39.00, Over 65s \u00a38.00, Children \u00a34.50 and Family ticket [2 adults & 3 children] \u00a324.00.<\/p>\n Opening times; 10am to 5pm; last admission 4pm.
