INCLUDED WITH ADMISSIONJoin us for the first Coffee with Collections event of 2026 as we take an inside look at how Air Zoo preserves aviation history, one rivet at a time.
We will kick things off with a presentation by Air Zoo President & CEO Troy Thrash, who will share the story of our restoration center and explore why this work is so vital to our community.
Following the presentation, enjoy a Q&A panel featuring members of the Air Zoo’s restoration staff and volunteers. They’ll be on hand to answer your questions about aircraft restoration, conservation techniques, and what it takes to bring historic aircraft back to life.
We’ll conclude with a behind‑the‑scenes tour of the restoration center, including a close look at two of our current projects: the PBY Catalina and the SBD‑1 Dauntless. You’ll also have the opportunity to learn how you can get involved and support our restoration efforts.
This event is included with your Air Zoo Admission, no registration required!
Grab a cup of coffee and discover how Air Zoo is restoring history for future generations.
