| Together with the museum's on-going educational activities related to aviation history, the museum staff
will continue to teach the principles of flight and encourage a hands-on approach to learning about the adventure of flight and the importance of aviation to our society.
While many of our current educational programs are considered out-reach programs, the construction of this new, expanded facility will provide us the opportunity to expand our purview to reach a greater segment of the community through enhanced on-site educational programs.
Our vision for a great aviation museum is to provide a comprehensive look at the past, present and future of aviation, not only for school children, but also for eager participants of all ages who desire to increase their knowledge. Aviation education will continue to be the focal point of the museum and its members.
Plans are in place to build a 15,000 square foot hangar and museum to house valuable antique aircraft and other artifacts. The cost to build this facility is projected to be 3 to 3.5 million dollars.
