Incorporated as a non-profit domestic corporation in June 1997, the Army Aviation Heritage Foundation (AAHF) is a one-of-a-kind, national organization comprising veterans, their families, and civilian supporters individually and collectively dedicated to preserving and presenting the legacy of U.S. Army Aviation.
By virtue of chapters in Hampton, Georgia; Mesa, Arizona; and St. Louis, Missouri, the Foundation hosts and participates in aircraft and museum tours, school programs, air-shows, and other public events across the U.S.
The AAHF aspires to accurately portray the American soldier as an active, accepted, and admired member of the broader American family by presenting the story of Army Aviation and the soldiers by which it is perpetuated.
The AAHF acquires, restores, and maintains historic, vintage, flying aircraft representing U.S. Army Aviation circa the Vietnam- and Cold War-eras. Whenever possible, the Foundation seeks out veterans experienced with such aircraft to lead groups of AAHF volunteers in the restoration thereof.
The Foundation’s member Sky Soldiers conduct patriotic flying presentations, public helicopter rides, and educational presentations, thereby honoring the men and women who’ve served in the U.S. military and Army aviation, and affording civilians opportunity to hear veterans’ stories and, by dint of such, better understand the rigors of, reasons for, and nobility inherent military flight.
Throughout the world, no other known educational foundation is wholly dedicated to preserving flyable U.S. Army Aviation aircraft exclusively. The AAHF’s aircraft are restored to their original Army specifications and maintained, thereafter, to operational and safety standards fully-compliant with applicable FAA regulations.
Army Aviation Heritage Foundation personnel and machines take part in approximately forty air-shows annually.
