Fright takes flight at American Airpower Museum

The American Airpower Museum is hosting a Haunted Halloween Hangar party at its Republic Airport headquarters.

The festivities take off at 3 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 30 when costumed museum staff will hand out treats as children go door to door in the safety of Hangar 3.  

Participants can mingle with a host of ghosts, goblins, skeletons, witches and other scary folk inside the hangar-turned-horror house with dry ice fog, spider webs, flying bats and more.

Along with crafts, games with prizes and face painting, children from one to 16 can compete in the museum’s costume contest. Prizes will be awarded for the best original and creative costumes, courtesy of Cockpit USA.

Regular admission fee is $15 for adults, $12 for seniors and veterans, $8 for kids 5 to 13. There is free admission for kids under 5, active military and holders of valid AAM membership cards.  

Unvaccinated children under 12 must wear an approved anti-viral mask, unless they are already wearing a full mask covering both nose and mouth.

The American Airpower Museum is located at Hangar 3, 1230 New Highway in Farmingdale.
