No. You're on the museum's grounds so their admission applies.

I've been to this "event" once... it was a good reason to check the museum out. It's not an airshow so don't get your hopes up.

A lot of that could be cut back significantly or even cancel last minute because you-know-who is spending Labor Day weekend at his beach house in Rehoboth Beach, and the airport is within the 30NM ring of the TFR.
