Join us at Owls Head Transportation Museum to learn about our newest aviation restoration project! OHTM’s Pilots, Brad Carter, and Nick Knobil will share the special history of the 1940 de Havilland Tiger Moth. This airplane holds a special story to OHTM and the Lombard family, who will tell in-depth tales of flying, crashes, exploration, and pioneering. This lecture will close with a special screening of Lombard’s father taking a flight to Alaska from Boston in 1930—this private viewing is a hidden gem to OHTM and will only be shared on special occasions like this lecture.

In support of the restoration project, a $35,000 kickstart donation will be highlighted, if you are moved to get involved after listening to this lecture we ask for you to join the match by donating to this project to see the moth fly again!

Location: OHTM’s Aviation Hangar
Speakers: Nick Knobil, Brad Carter, John Bottero, Laurie Lombard
