Herbert Bone Bestows Major Gift to National Model Aviation Museum

One of Our Favorite Places Has Received A Generous Donation

The AMA Foundation has received a bequest of more than $171,000 to support the National Model Aviation Museum. The AMA and AMA Foundation would like to thank the family of Herbert Bone for his generous estate gift. Herbert is a Heritage and Legacy Society member of the AMA Foundation.

Herbert had a lifelong passion for model aviation, trains, and Disney, specifically Mickey Mouse. He was a United States Army Veteran and a loving husband, father, and family member. Herbert was loved by his family, friends, and community, was an active member of the Boeing Hawks RC Club, and was a long time member of the Marymoor MARCs (1970’s-2020). He was also a docent at the Seattle Museum of Flight, with over 3,000 volunteer hours.

Before passing, Herbert wrote a reflections project that looked back on his life: My Story, P&T&MM.

Herbert’s contribution will have a lasting impact on the National Model Aviation Museum, allowing it to continue as a world-class experience. We are honored to carry Herbert’s legacy forward.
