NAS Wildwood Aviation Museum
Wildwood Naval Air Station - Museum
We had a great time shooting the Wildwood NAS! We tried to capture the fun aspects of the facility and highlight some of the amazing displays. It's fun for the whole family...even your pet! Directed by Steve Acito, lit by Brent King and shot with a Canon 60D with multiple prime lenses we utilized a small 10' jib arm and some other tricks :)
Thanks to all of the extras that donated their time to the project.
Naval Air Station (NAS) Wildwood Aviation Museum is a non-profit museum located at the Cape May Airport inside historic Hangar #1. Commissioned in April 1943, NAS Wildwood served as an active dive-bomber squadron training facility during World War II. Today, Hangar #1 has been restored and transformed into an Aviation Museum that houses a number of aircraft, engines, special exhibits, and educational interactive displays. The museum invites visitors to explore aviation, New Jersey, military and WW II history through hands-on, fun and educational activities for the entire family! Bring the kids and travel back in time to this 92,000 square foot sampling of the 1940's (and don't forget your camera)!

THE FORGOTTEN WARRIORS MUSEUM CAPE MAY AIRPORT NEW JERSEY
This is a Museum that everyone should visit. It was started by Thomas Collins and his wife. It is a beautiful and very emotional tribute to all of the veterans of the Vietnam and Korean Wars. It was the first time that I had seen what it must have been like to be a prisoner of war and actually 'see' the cage that they were kept in. Hopefully everyone who watches this video will send them a donation so that they can expand the Museum.
THE MESSAGE BELOW IS FROM THE PAMPHLET
For many Americans, the war in Vietnam was the defining event of their lives. It was a conflict that divided families and brought violence both to Vietnam and the United States. Whether in uniform or not, everyone who lived through this period had a Vietnam experience.
Dispite its cultural and military importance, after more than 30 years, there is no national venue dedicated to examining the legacy of the Vietnam War. The time has come to examine and understand this most divisive period in our history, to allow for reflection, resolution, and healing.
The Forgotten Warriors Museum currently has over 1000 artifacts, memorabilia and photographic material which are displayed either under glass or in walk-through areas which allow the visitor to fully appreciate what it was actually like to be in country and absorb the era which was Vietnam. The indoor display features mannequins, photographs, scale models and dioramas, military equipment and much more.
The museum is always looking for new items to display and donations of Vietnam related matter is always welcomed.

VIETNAM and KOREAN WAR MUSEUM CAPE MAY NEW JERSEY
The sound is not very good at the beginning of the video. Just a few seconds......I had to do it that way so that I could 'turn down the buzzer' that went off when ever people came in. Please watch anyways. As you will see, Tom Collins needs donations to keep his dream going.
I want to explain 'why' the letter from Joseph Turnage and the Rosary were so moving to me and my husband. Our daughter was serving with the 3rd Armored Division in the first Gulf War. They were 'in' Iraq. At the time I didn't know this. I thought that she was in Saudi Arabia.....Two pieces of mail got through to her Unit. One was from my cousin Mary Hennissey from Brookline, Ma. She had sent A Soldiers Prayer for everyone. The other one was a box of Irish bread that we had sent. We lived in Wado, Maine. Because of her job Noreen was able to call the next day and tell me how amazing it was that just those two got delivered. She gave out the prayer cards and they were all enjoying the bread. While I was talking to my daughter on the phone I saw on the TV that the bombing had just begun. It was such a surreal moment. You can't imagine the range of emotions that I / we went through. The daughter telling the mother that everything will be alright and the daughter knowing that she was there watching it all...... It was alright and she did come home safe.
This is a Museum that everyone should visit. It was started by Thomas Collins and his wife. It is a beautiful and very emotional tribute to all of the veterans of the Vietnam and Korean Wars. It was the first time that I had seen what it must have been like to be a prisoner of war and actually 'see' the cage that they were kept in. Hopefully everyone
who watches this video will send them a donation so that they can expand the Museum. The song Show Me The Place is by Leonard Cohen. One of my favorite performers....

F-5E Tiger walk around at NAS Wildwood Aviation Museum
Naval Air Station Wildwood (New Jersey) Aviation Museum has among its aircraft on display an F-5E Tiger. The F-5's initial flight was July 31, 1963, at Edwards Air Force Base, California. Initially designed by Northrop as a lightweight supersonic fighter in the early 1960’s, the United States Navy and Marines used the F-5E as an aggressor aircraft to hone the skills of fighter pilots and pilot/radar intercept officer teams. More than 2,600 were built by Northrop Grumman and under co-production and licensing agreements with Canada, the Republic of China, the Republic of Korea, Spain and Switzerland. One distinction of the F-5E is even though it has an arrestor hook, it is not carrier suitable. The hook would only be used in emergencies at land-based airfields. The single-seat version of the F-5E is capable of mach 1.6. The museum's F-5E last served with the “Snipers” of VMFT-401, 4th Marine Air Wing (MAW) at Marine Corps Air Station Yuma, Arizona in an aggressor squadron. (Video by Dan Gleiter/PennLive.com)
Luftronix Innovation in Cape May
Luftronix, Inc., maker of Fused Flow™ precision navigation technology for unmanned vehicles, is opening a test and demonstration center at the Cape May Airport (KWWD) in Cape May, NJ. Luftronix will use the new center to conduct aircraft inspection flights with drones to scan the airplanes and test for damage from corrosion, dents and lightning strikes.
About Luftronix
Luftronix has created GPS-free navigation technology for autonomous drone flights with very high precision. Its patent-pending Fused Flow™ technology employs computer vision techniques to interpret the environment a drone navigates in, using similar logic as the human brain to make sense of the surrounding areas. In conjunction with the Luftronix Orchestrator™, the drones collect data, use machine learning strategies to interpret the visual images, and help create a faster, more efficient process for the aircraft inspection process.
About Cape May County
