Our History

Our WWII Museum is full of local and regional heroes and their stories. This is Bill Curtis, USCG.

Seeing a need for energetic, nonprofit work in this area,in 2004, the late MS. Governor Kirk Fordice and his son Dan, formed our organization, to preserve the stories of local and regional WWII Veterans and to preserve aviation history by keep Vintage and WWII aircraft flying! We've consistently grown since then, all thanks to the helping hands of this amazing community!

Our Mission

Our hangar is full of history! Featured here is our 1944 AT-6 Texan !

We focus on making the maximum positive effort for our community, by providing "Living History" through our aircraft and our museum full of memorabilia and history! Our members and volunteers provide the momentum that helps us preserve this history for all ages. Through our love of veterans and community, we strive to be teach all who walk through our doors a love of their country, a love of those who fought for their freedoms, a love of aviation and stories that will live with them forever.
