The Bird Aviation Museum and Invention Center strives to educate visitors about
the historic contribution of aviators and innovators who have helped create modern
technology, and celebrate these individuals who have forever changed the way we
live. Dr. Forrest Bird, M.D., PhD., ScD., served as a U.S. Army Air Corps Pilot
and Technical Air Training Officer during WW II, inventing an advanced pressure
breathing system that enabled flying at higher altitude where air pressure was low.
By the time the U.S. had become deeply involved in the Vietnam War, Dr. Bird had
expanded his novel technology to involve both heart and lung (cardiopulmonary) compromises
in medical patient populations. The Babybird® Respirator he invented breathes for
premature babies with cardiopulmonary compromises without mechanically damaging
the lungs, and reduced the Neonatal mortality from some 70% to less than 10%. His
state-of-the-art breathing machines continue to save thousands of critical care
patients, the world over. Dr. Bird is an active highly qualified FAA certificated
Flight Instructor Pilot and remains an ardent Lecturer as well as Educator. Displaying
over 50 planes, several antique cars and many other inventions such as the respirators,
an original Intel 4004 computer chip, microwave technology, etc., the Bird Aviation
Museum and Invention Center provides an exciting experience for the whole family.
An assortment of finger foods and beverages will be provided during the tour. Buses from the right side of the front entrance of the CDA Resort main building.
