Maps Air Museum sponsored a special program for Cub Scouts on Saturday October
20th. The cost was $5.00 which included a patch for the first 400 scouts. There were three sets of tours that ran for approximately 2 hours: (9:00 – 11:00) (11:00 – 1:00) (1:00 – 3:00) No reservations were required but we would appreciated estimates of the number of scouts/adults and the time period you selected.

MAPS was voted #1 Museum in the Akron Beacon Journal Best Awards.

“Thank You” to all the Voters who helped MAPS receive this special award.
Long time member and WWII vet Logan Stahler has passed away at age 90. Calling hours will be at the Pittsburg Avenue Reed Funeral Home on Sunday October 14 from 2:00 to 3:00. To read the obituary from the Canton Repository, click HERE.
Logan worked at restoring the PT-19 and was known for scooting around on his electric scooter. Logan had gone into the rest home a couple years ago. If you can make calling hours or the funeral wear a MAPS shirt if you have one.

MAPS Member Valerie Kinney has been the Honor Flight coordinator since 2007. On Sunday September 22, the CAK chapter of the Honor Flight program flew its final flight. It was the 11th flight and over 1,100 WWII veterans were escorted to Washington DC to visit the WWII Memorial, Korea, Vietnam, Air Force and FDR Memorials. The CAK Chapter has completed the original list of WWII Veterans which was their goal. ”Mission Accomplished.” Congratulations on this very successful and honorable program.
