Adopt an Aircraft
The museum’s Adopt an Aircraft program allows individuals, businesses or corporations, and organizations to support the restoration and ongoing maintenance of the historic planes maintained by the museum.
All adopters will be recognized with a plaque in front of the adopted aircraft and their names (or the names of people or organizations they want to honor), on the museum website and in its newsletter for 12 months.
Donations to the program are dedicated to the museum’s aircraft maintenance and restoration program and museum operations.
There may be more than one adopter for any aircraft. The adoption confers no rights or obligations on the adopter, aside from the benefits specified for the adoption level and the amount of the donation to be designated as having adopted the aircraft. All adoption donations are deductible to the fullest extent allowed by law.
The Adopt-an-Aircraft program has taken off with donations for four planes so far:
