Hangar Update: Even though Stanislaus County has moved to a red tier and some businesses are able to re-open, with restrictions, the Hangar will remain closed through the end of 2020. Once we are able to conduct business as usual the doors will open and the Hangar will once again resume normal events such as the Second Saturday Breakfast,Weekly lunches and special events. We miss you and thank you for your continued support.

On this day, we honor our country's Gold Star Mothers and Families , remembering their sons' and daughters' noble service and great sacrifice. We offer them our deepest gratitude and our most profound respect, and we ask for God's blessings to be upon them and their families.

Update on the AOD flyover from the Commemorative Air Force: At 10:00 AM EDT we will present a video tribute including the rarest WWII aircraft and interviews with veterans participating in the Arsenal of Democracy. Unfortunately the weather is not going to safely allow the aircraft to fly today through Washington DC airspace. Since our authorization to fly through that restricted airspace will expire today, we won't be able to reschedule the flying portion of the program. We...'re sorry we couldn't put on the flyover we'd planned, however we hope you enjoy the program streaming on our YouTube and Facebook pages which includes footage of the aircraft, crews, and veterans involved in the Arsenal of Democracy event. We thank you all for your support and understanding. We also would like to thank our presenting sponsors the Bob and Dolores Hope Foundation and Department of Defense. #WW2Flyover

Update on AOD from Steve Schapiro B29/B24 crew member; The Arsenal of Democracy flyover will take place tomorrow, Saturday 9/26 over the National Mall at 11:30 am, You can live stream or check C-SPAN or other channels. I’ll be in a C-45 Twin Beech. The only 2 airworthy B-29s will be flying together. This is what the practice flight looked like. http://ww2flyover.org/

AOD Flight cancelled for today due to weather. Well, we tried, but we never got the weather visibility we needed for the #ww2flyover so today’s flight is off. The weather was supposed to clear in time but it never cooperated with us so we will try again tomorrow at 11:30am EDT. Stay tuned for announcements in the morning. When we know, you’ll know! Keep your fingers crossed.

So sorry but the AOD flight is canceled for today because of low ceiling over DC. Will try again tomorrow. Today's the day!! WATCH THE LIVE STREAM OF THE FLYOVER!! The aerial tribute will also be live streamed on the Arsenal of Democracy Flyover website (ww2flyover.org) and Facebook page (Arsenal of Democracy Flyover). The live stream will include special programming, including interviews with veterans and heroes, starting at 10:00 AM ET.
