The National Air and Space Museum’s Air & Scare event is scheduled at the Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center in Chantilly, Virginia. That matters: this is not the museum building on the National Mall in Washington.

The published window

The museum’s family-day listing gives October 24, 2026, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. as the event window. The museum’s own social announcement says free tickets are available to reserve. Availability can change, so use the official event listing rather than an old shared image.

Plan around the people coming

Before inviting a group, settle the travel plan and check the reservation information together. A shared screenshot can make the time easy to remember, but it should include the original link so everyone can see updates.
