Winter Education Lecture Series: The TIGER MOTH Will Fly Again

Join the 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. With great support for the Lombard family he is donating $35,000 to the Tiger Moth Restoration project, 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!

OHTM will also be lifting the hoods on all the historic vehicles in the collection, giving the public a rare, up-close look at their innerworkings. Don't miss your chance to see and learn about what makes these vehicles so remarkable – this is a program unlike any other! STEM activities will accompany the event making it fun for the whole family! Free for members or with museum admission.
