Following DeBellevue's presentation is the MiG Secrets Exposed event, where the MiG-21’s Russian electronics bay will be open for the day, allowing visitors to see the black boxes that made the once top secret Soviet navigation and weapon system function.

This Polish aircraft exhibit is professionally presented and has been on display at the ML Becker Educational Center for the last two months. It has attracted a variety of people interested in taking the cockpit experience of simulated flight. That venue, combined with the T-33 Simulator kept the interest of not only young prospective aviators but gave those retired Vietnam Veterans a close up view of the aircraft many flew against in war time.
-
The new ML Becker Educational Center, located in the Enid airport's Woodring Wall of Honor and Veterans Park, is a museum and learning facility where people can find information and memorabilia honoring our military service people and veterans.
-
The Woodring Wall of Honor and Veterans Park features an 80 percent scale replica of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Wall in Washington, D.C. and also features the Living Walls with the names of Oklahoman veterans.
