Says Goal Is To Ensure A Financially Sound NAHF

Congressman Turner (R-OH) has sent a letter to the Chairman of the Board of Trustees for the National Aviation Hall of Fame upon receiving troubling information concerning NAHF finances.

“The National Aviation Hall of Fame has an important and historic mission," Turner said in the letter. "I look forward to making sure that this resource is available for generations to come so they can learn of the remarkable stories of the enshrinees and their dedication to aviation. The goal is to ensure the future of the NAHF.”

Congressman Turner is exercising his oversight authority to investigate these allegations against the Congressionally Chartered organization.

Below are excerpts from the letter:

“My office has received complaints of financial mismanagement and misappropriation of NAHF resources and assets," Turner wrote. "These issues appear to threaten the very viability of the NAHF to meet the basic purposes of the NAHF Congressional Charter and to sustain its Ohio Not-for-Profit status.

“Therefore, my office has initiated a Congressional investigation into the finances of the NAHF, the sources and uses of its operational funds, [and] the use of NAHF funds for the payment of staff, consultants, and subcontractors.”
