Meet Congressional Gold Medal Recipients: Women Airforce Service Pilots

Learn history directly from the heroes themselves, a spirited squadron of pilots who left their homes and families at the height of World War II to serve as the first American women to fly for the U.S. Military.

Meet four original WASP (Women Airforce Service Pilots), Bernice "Bee" Falk Haydu, Florence Rubin Mascott, Barry Vincent Smith, and Helen Wyatt Snapp, during the "A Passionate Pursuit" Living History Symposium, Thursday, March 25 - Saturday, March 27.

Unidentifiable noises and voices...drastic temperature changes... strange mists and shadows... apparitions in photos...these unexplained and sometimes chilling phenomena have drawn an eager crowd to our paranormal tour and investigation, nightFlight.

 

The unique experience, guided by Florida's Apollo Paranormal Investigations (API), a non-profit team of paranormal investigators, requires advanced reservations.
