FEATURED EXHIBIT

The Winning Photo – Wings Over Miami 1st Photo Exhibit

Congratulations to Zuleyda Rodriguez, who is the very first artist to win Wings over Miami’s very first photo exhibit! The photo was selected by popular vote of patrons during the Wings Over Miami Memorial Weekend event. Prior to the May 25, 2013 event local photographers were invited out to the museum on two different weekends to snap photos of museum planes. The photographers were also allowed to use photos taken previously of aircraft which had a connection to the museum. Zuleyda’s photo entitled “Glowing Edges” captured the imagination of event-goers. The unusual photo of a very special plane (1942 Ryan PT-22) drew the most votes. The photo will be featured in Wings Over Miami’s first calendar. Second place went to photographer Robert Richardson and third place went to Carlos Taracido, III. More information about the event will be posted soon. Learn more »

 

Welcome to Wings Over Miami!

An Amazing Day!

Car ShowThe Memorial Day Festival and Car Show was an amazing event. It was a great opportunity for three organizations to come together for the first time and host a huge event for the museums benefit. There were almost 1600 people in attendance, 150+ cars displayed,  precision flying planes, great Bluegrass music and photographers everywhere. The 94 year-old Tuskegee Airman Eldridge Williams spent the entire day meeting folks and signing autographs. Our photo exhibit received lots of votes and we are looking forward to declaring a winner once the exhibit closes! You can still go by the museum to see the wonderful photos.

The day was warm for this time in the year, but there was no rain and the planes had great weather to be in the air! We had some outstanding precision fly-bys that were much appreciated by the crowd, particularly by the aviation buffs and photographers in the crowd.Flight Line

We are already working on next’s years Festival.  The museum and their partners are already triaging this year’s event and working to eliminate any hiccups that we experienced yesterday!  So save May 24, 2014 for our next Memorial Day Festival.  It is going to be bigger and better than it was this year!

Watch Facebook for additional photographs in the coming weeks. If you were at the event and would like to share your photos, message us on Facebook and we will create your own personal album to share them from!

Wings Over Miami Has Awesome Community Partners!

Every museum needs people and organizations who support and help create community events. These people and groups go beyond just being friends to the museum. They give time, product and skills to make sure that Wings can have fundraisers and community events.

Please visit these sponsors and Thank them for their contributions to the museum. Without their help, we would not be able to have fun community events!

Come on out this Saturday! Be an active part of our fundraising and have fun while while doing it!
