From March 13 to 31, 1931, Theodore Gildred engaged in a 4,200 mile flight from San Diego, CA, to Quito, Ecuador. The hazards of flying in a single-engine monoplane made the journey over South America and the Andes Mountains even more perilous.
Families explored the Museum in a whole new way on the night of August 23, 2013 – by flashlight! They also found lost treasure in the Ripley's: Believe It or Not! exhibit, made glowing paper airplanes, and were treated to movie screenings before spending the night in the galleries. Thank you to everyone who attended; we had a great time!

We are happy to report that the Northrop-Grumman MQ-8B Fire Scout has found a new home in the Rotunda at Balboa Park. NG donated the first of three flying prototypes some time back and, with this move, it becomes the fourth UAV to be exhibited in the Museum’s entry space. Our gratitude goes out to the Northrop-Grumman team for their generosity.
