Imagine stepping into Hangar 79
Above you, the F-100 Super Sabre gleams, its Korean War scars whispering of battles fought.
The MiG-15 looms, a Cold War rival tamed by American resolve.
The F-16 stands proud, a symbol of enduring strength.
A child gazes up at the swept-wing F-86 and feels the pulse of history.
A veteran beneath the MiG-21 hears the call of comrades lost.
Families trace the evolution from piston-powered warriors to jet-fueled titans—and grasp the grit and genius that secured our way of life.
Picture them soaring once more
Not in the air, but suspended in the hallowed expanse of Hangar 79, where bullet-scarred windows from December 7, 1941, stand as silent sentinels of resilience. These aircraft are more than metal—they are monuments to the innovators who built them, the pilots who flew them, and the ideals they defended.
But time is not on our side
These aircraft wait in the wings, yearning to tell their stories. To lift them into Hangar 79 requires precision engineering, reinforced supports, and meticulous preservation—all at a cost we cannot bear alone.
We must raise $500,000
to preserve and showcase a legendary fleet:
the L-13 Stinson, F-16 Fighting Falcon, F-5 Freedom Fighter, L-5 Sentinel, O-2 Skymaster, A-4 Skyhawk, F-104 Starfighter, F-100 Super Sabre, F-86 Sabre, MiG-15, and MiG-21—and to upgrade the exhibition space they will soon call home.
A Historic Opportunity: Your Impact Doubled!
A visionary patriot and great friend of the Museum has stepped forward with a bold challenge: every dollar you give will be matched, dollar for dollar, up to $250,000! Your gift today doesn’t just contribute—it multiplies.
Your gift will make it possible.
It will transform these silent warriors into a soaring testament—a bridge from yesterday’s heroes to tomorrow’s guardians.
The time is now.
This is the power of your support—a legacy that speaks, teaches, and inspires.
