The idea caught fire -- a spark fanned by the enthusiasm of others who shared this goal.

From a historic hangar at Willow Run Airport, the idea grew. The 1941 hangar, which played a role in the production of nearly 8,700 B-24 "Liberator" bombers, became the focal pointof our aviation museum which includes flyable examples of historic aircraft as well as static displays and designated rooms filled with historic artifacts.

The idea has spread to other locales. Today there are YAF members throughout the United States. Our membership is over 1,700 and growing!

We take pleasure in inviting you to help yourself to a slice of aviation history.

The museum has historic aircraft on display. Many are flyable. Others are on static display. You may view skilled mechanics and restoration crews actively involved in the process of slowly bringing these "national treasures" back to life.

In addition to the museum there is an aviation reference library which contains a wide variety of aviation related materials. (Available by appointment.)

To its visitors and all-volunteer staff of members, the Yankee Air Museum literally has 'something for everyone." Volunteers restore, maintain and fly the aircraft, administer the daily business of the museum, keep the facilities maintained, publish periodic publications and conduct fund raising events and museum tours that we invite you to take.
