The Museum of Aviation Foundation (full name Museum of Aviation at Robins Air Force Base Georgia Foundation, Inc.) was chartered in 1983 under the State of Georgia as a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization. The foundation built and continues to operate the Museum of Aviation at Robins Air Force Base, Georgia, which is now the second-largest museum in the U.S. Air Force.
The Museum of Aviation’s exhibits and programs honor U.S. veterans and their families and remind our Airmen of their legendary Air Force heritage.
