- History of YAF
- In 1981 a few people shared the desire to preserve the facts and glamour of southeastern Michigan's aviation history and laid the plans for an imaginative venture.
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.
- Today
- Even before you set foor on the Yankee Air Museum grounds, the excitement begins. The imposing shape of the giant B-52 eight engine jet bomber guards the vintage hangar which is the heart of the museum's activites.
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.
- Museum
- The Yankee Air Museum consists of an indoor aircraft display, an outdoor aircraft display,and numerous room devoted to specific aviation themes or time periods. Display room topics include: WWI aviation, WWII, Korea, Vietnam, Women in Aviation, and the B-24 Liberator bomber.
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.
Visit our Gift Shop for unique aviation-related books, posters, patched, souvenirs, and more.
