After Dark: Bombers & Brews

Experience local brews and legendary aircraft!

Join us Saturday, Nov. 8 for the return of our fan-favorite event, After Dark: Bombers & Brews! 

Our popular fall After Dark: Bombers & Brews event, scheduled for Nov. 8, 2025, is back and better than ever. Local breweries will be tapping kegs to share their brew with you – new this year, brewery samples are included with your ticket purchase! There will also be dancing to live music by local band 5, playing your favorites from the 60s through today. And it wouldn’t be an After Dark without open aircraft – you’ll have access to the cockpits of the Boeing B-52D Stratofortress and the Boeing B-1B Lancer (please note, it will be ladder access), and have the extraordinary opportunity to look inside the Museum’s record-setting Convair B-58 Hustler. You’ll also be able to view rare artifacts from both the National Museum of the U.S. Air Force’s collection and Wright State University’s archives. There will be two rounds of trivia with prizes, a caricature artist, heavy hors d’oeuvres, cash bars, and much more! After Dark events are for adults only (ages 21+). Tickets for Bombers & Brews are $45. Doors will open at 5:30 p.m., and the event will run from 6-10 p.m. Experience the Museum in a whole new light!
