I had a couple of hours at Newark Air Museum for Cockpit fest, I missed last years so was eager to see what was new on show. It only takes under an hour to Newark pending on the traffic. The weather was kind to us as I wondered around checking out the cockpits, as well as a few new Museum arrivals since my last visit.
