FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Updated July 7, 2020
We continue to be closed due to COVID 19 restrictions. As much as we want to open our doors, the ability to offer a clean and safe environment is currently beyond our volunteer and staff capabilities. We will update you as we have news.
WEDNESDAY, MARCH 18, 2020
We are in unparalleled times. Our air museum life is making adjustments.
Beginning immediately Mid America Museum of Aviation and Transportation (located at 2600 Expedition Ct on the N E corner of Sioux Gateway Airport) will be temporarily closed to the public.
While we have a number of plans for 2020 with new events as well as our favorites, we are pausing to take care of each other. The Center for Disease Control are providing guidelines to decrease density and lower the curve for spreading COVID-19. We are abiding by the safest of the Iowa guideposts and CDC recommendations.
You can follow us on Facebook and our website for updates. Board members and staff appreciate your understanding and support during this time. If you have any questions please call the museum at 712-252-5300 or email at airmuseum@longlines.com
Keep Iowans and Americans safe!
Yours
