Flight Night December 17, 2010

Enjoy an evening of flight with IMAX® presentations, hands-on activities and more! Explore the beginning of aviation by checking out a life-size replica of the Wright Brothers’ 1902 glider; learn how planes fly by building and flying your own paper airplane and ring glider; find out how Daniel Bernoulli’s and Sir Isaac Newton’s work relates to flight.
Also, when it is dark, join members of the Richmond Astronomical Society on the museum’s front lawn for Sky Watch as they share their powerful telescopes for a look at the night sky. Weather permitting.
