Supporters who make a qualifying contribution are invited to join fellow ASCRS members at the San Diego Air and Space Museum from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. for a “Night in the Sky.” Attendees will enjoy food and beverage while exploring the museum’s fascinating collection of aviation and space artifacts. They’ll also have the opportunity to take a spin in the Max-Flight simulators.
