Celebrating the US Navy’s birthday with a model competition and vendor expo topped off with 9 of our aircraft’s cockpits open for you to sit in (like Maverick!) or get a better view of. Truly a fun family day co-sponsored with the Sacramento Chapter of the International Plastic Modelers’ Society (“IPMS”).

Check back for information on how to enter the competition, vendors scheduled to participate and which cockpits will be open. Hear stories directly from crew members who flew in these planes and helicopters.

A raffle will also take place to better support our educational outreach efforts such as providing a bus for a Title 1 school to come to the Horent on a field trip.

General admission applies, members are free. Stay all day.
