The Wrong Way to Floyd Bennett Field

Something to do this Labor Day weekend. From Art in General:

Help launch the eteam’s departing flight from a historic and fully operational, but dormant airfield in Brooklyn. Play a role in an eteam film- be the passenger, the pilot, the engine, or the fuselage of a plane as it exits from the gates of historic Hanger B. Learn the history of Floyd Bennett Field, New York’s first airport and now a Gateway National Recreation Area by participating in a guided tour by Linc Hallowell, a historian and park ranger of the National Park Service, who will introduce you to the airfield’s peek moments, its decline, and the process of renovation that is underway. The afternoon winds down with a BBQ.

Admission fees:
$10 (includes tour, transportation not provided)
$20 Art in General members (tour and transportation on shuttle bus from AiG to FBF)
