Join us in the museum courtyard for an afternoon of historical reenactment of The Sonora Aero Club. The group allegedly fixated on aircraft soon after stories of the first flying dirigible balloons emerged in Europe in the 1850s. Charles Dellschau’s writings describe the club as a secret group of flight enthusiasts who met in Sonora, California in the mid-19th century. According to Dellschau, one of the club members discovered a formula for an anti-gravity fuel called "NB Gas." The club’s mission was to design and build the first navigable aircraft using the NB Gas for lift and propulsion. Dellschau called these flying machines Aeros.
Fact or fiction? No proof has ever been found to verify its existence but the afternoon promises to be a lively event!
