Take your midnight train to Georgia and come see us in Atlanta! The RISE ABOVE Traveling Exhibit is making tracks to Turner Field, home of the Atlanta Braves. Thanks to the good folks at KIA, we’ll be there Thursday, May 30 through Sunday, June 2 from 11:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. each day. And of course admission to the exhibit is FREE!

The RISE ABOVE Traveling Exhibit will be a part of the inaugural Atlanta Braves Heritage Weekend. And it gets better! Be at the Braves game Friday, May 31st or Saturday, June 1st and experience a flyover by our very own P-51C Mustang.

Find us at Turner Field’s Monument Grove at 755 Hank Aaron Drive, Atlanta, 30315. Take me out to the ballgame!

And don’t forget we’ll be hanging out in the Big Easy on Saturday, May 25th thanks to the generous folks at Flightline First. This outstanding FBO located at the New Orleans Lakefront Airport will be presenting the exhibit in conjunction with the National WWII Museum.  If you’re in the area, stop by and see us at the New Orleans Lakefront Airport at 6001 Stars and Stripes Blvd., New Orleans, LA, 70126.
