It was a private event, so we had the whole place to ourselves. We were a bit tipsy prior to entering the museum, the vast hangar felt like an exclusive wonderland. We were like two kids at Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.
We were free to run amok, and run amok we did! We spent the evening laughing, taking fun and silly photo booth pictures, and playfully exploring the museum; the aircraft and exhibits transformed into a fantastic adult playground.
Even the food catered at the museum was exceptional. The meal was simply fantismo! I had the salmon, and each morsel was truly delectable. This venue offers an experience that is impossible to forget.
