The USS Hornet Museum will have Clementine at the Little League fields on Saturday, May 7 from the opening pitch of the first games until 6:30pm. What is Clementine? Clementine is a restored, non-operable, F-8U Crusader cockpit for the kids to touch and pretend they are pilots. They will be able to climb up into the seat for a photo-op. The control stick moves and it has a full instrument panel. Clementine went into service in 1963 and was retired in 1968. The aircraft was dismantled and the cockpit section was used as a pilot ground familiarization trainer. Her home is now the USS Hornet Museum.

Docents from the Hornet are on-hand to answer questions and also help out. Along with Clementine there are also STEM activities for the kids. Clementine and the STEM activities are FREE courtesy of the USS Hornet Museum.

The USS Hornet Museum is a museum ship in Alameda, California, USA. It is composed of the USS Hornet (CV-12) aircraft carrier, exhibits from the NASA Apollo moon exploration missions, and several retired aircraft from the Second World War and the transonic and early supersonic jet propulsion period. The flight deck, hangar deck, and first deck below are open for self-guided tours. Docent-led tours of the ship's interior are also available. This ship embodies Alameda's rich naval history and helps bridge the past to the present. The USS Hornet Museum is located at Alameda Point and is open daily from 10:00-5:00.

Alameda Little League is extremely pleased to have the USS Hornet as a sponsor, and even more pleased that we can partner in this event for the kids. This is what it’s all about.

Please be advised that Lum Elementary School will be having their "Spring Fling Carnival" Saturday, May 7 from 11:00 to 3:00. Also, Wood Middle School will be hosting a robotics competition this Saturday. We do not have any information if the lots will be opened or closed to Little League families. Regardless, please be courteous and allow yourself extra time and expect to park a little further from the fields this Saturday.
