On Sunday, the Alameda Architectural Preservation Society has organized two bus and walking tours in cooperation with the Naval Air Museum and Alameda Museum. The bus tours will be led by Dick Rutter, a local architect and former naval flight officer who served at the Alameda Naval Air Station.

Stops on the bus tour include Seaplane Lagoon, home to the USS Hornet, the Ready Reserve Fleet and its support activities. Other stops include a visit to the air traffic control tower, Building 5 (where two Navy jets are being restored), an officer's home and the officers' club.

Tickets for the bus tour are $10, but current members or those joining one of the three groups on Sunday can take the tour for free.
