Reminder: AIAA New England Section Special Event

22 and 23 September 2001
The Aviation Heritage Festival at Daniel Webster College
Nashua, New Hampshire

Join us at the second annual Aviation Heritage Festival at Daniel Webster
College. During
the event a fleet of historic airplanes will land and be on display on the
airstrips of the
Tamposi Aviation Center. In one area of the airfield, well-preserved vintage
aircraft will
be on display and the men and women who long ago piloted and guided these planes
will
walk among them. Many guest speakers will give speeches in a nearby auditorium
and later
participate in panel discussions.

The New England Section will be represented by a booth in the exhibit area for
both days
of the event and will gather in an informal picnic (no grills) on Sunday, 23
September,
at noon next to the aircraft display area. Bring your own food or buy it from
one of the
vendors. Look for the AIAA banner.


Cost and Schedule: The event costs $10 for adults and $5 for children under 5.
It is open
from 8:30 to 5 pm. The speaker schedule and complete list of speakers and
