(KAIR)--The Grand Opening, complete with ribbon cutting and guest speakers for the long awaited, interactive Amelia Earhart Hangar Museum, at Atchison's Amelia Earhart Memorial Airport, happened Friday afternoon.
The museum is an interactive experience pertaining to famed aviator Amelia Earhart, an Atchison native, and the world of flight. A centerpiece of the now-opened museum is Muriel, the world's last Lockheed Electra 10-E, identical to that flown by Earhart on her final flight.
