Yep, no complaints about the lighting. Camera flash was not needed for most of my photos. Sometimes tried to get the light out of the photo when taking photos of the ones hanging from the rafters.

All in all a great visit. Lots of walking and could be easy to get lost without the brochure. I donated to the cause, and received the brochure, well worth a donation.

They have a security guy at the front, and many kiosks with people willing to help with questions. That is where I received the brochure just before dropping $ into the donation box.

Was going to reply to your first post. I was parked at First Flight Aviation (KMGY), next to the Wright Flyer museum. The museum was closed the whole time I was there.
