Blue Skies & Tailwinds dear friend...
The Liberty Aviation Museum is deeply saddened to report the loss of a longtime museum supporter and dear friend to the museum, Martha Cangemi. Martha was not only a steadfast supporter of the museum, but a strong supporter of general aviation and the warbird community.
Martha has a long aviation history, as a pilot, flight instructor, and aircraft enthusiast. Martha came to the Liberty Aviation Museum as a volunteer wanting to put her experience flying and being near her favorite aircraft, the B-25 Mitchell Bomber to good use. During her time with the museum Martha willingly jumped in to help with any task that might be needed. Martha did everything from sweeping floors to teaching at our Junior Pilot Camp, to leading our annual ground school safety review for our flight and ground crews. A born organizer, Martha made sure when we traveled to air shows that our crews knew their tasks, and schedules, and always made sure we had plenty of snacks and beverages.
We will treasure our time with Martha and be forever grateful for all she shared with the museum.
We will post the full obituary when available, but here are the basics:
