THE MUSEUM OF AVIATION is the 2nd
largest museum in the
Air Force and the 4th
most visited museum in the Department of
Defense. It is free and open to the public seven days a week, 362
days a year. Visitation in 2015 was 401,676 and participants in
educational programming last year numbered 49,933.
Our humble roots began in 1984 with one small hut and a grand
vision from community greats Ms. Peggy Young and Brig. Gen.
Robert Scott, Jr. Today their legacies live on as the Museum of
Aviation is a major heritage, exhibit, and educational hub in the
Southeast, and has achieved accreditation from the American
Alliance of Museums (fka American Association of Museums.)
The visiting public has access to our 51-acre complex with four
primary climate-controlled exhibit hangars. An archival and
artifacts building and library are available for research by
appointment, and two maintenance and restoration buildings.
The Museum of Aviation exists to preserve and use our Nation’s
military assets to educate and inspire the public and future
generations. We also provide the foundation for understanding the
responsibilities of all humanity to preserve Freedom.
With Robins Air Force Base serving as the economic engine in
Middle Georgia, consider the museum as the vehicle that
transports one from past to present and forward into the future by
detailing aviation history, current uses of aviation science and
technology, and the possibilities of the future.
We work daily to ensure that current and future generations are
educated in the stories of the individuals who worked together as
members of our armed forces. We inspire future leaders through
education with an emphasis on hands-on technological
experiences, to provide inspirational education programs,
engaging historical perspective, and exceptional quality of service
for the citizens of our Nation.
Underlying all of the daily operations is a greater purpose – to
sustain the legacy of all who serve or have served our Country,
and their families, with the preservation of historic aircraft,
artifacts, and the stories that bring their contributions to life.
The Museum’s vision is to continually strengthen our position as
a STEM Center of Excellence, while solidifying our role as the
number one visitor attraction in Middle Georgia.
The mission of the Museum is to meticulously preserve our
nation’s military history while growing exceptional future
leaders in aerospace through education and inspiration.
Goal #1: Strengthen the Museum’s position as the #1 visitor
attraction in Middle Georgia and grow its presence in the
Southeastern region.
The Museum is the crown jewel of attractions for Middle Georgia and
continues to make that case by consistently ranking number one in visitor
attractions. By expanding program offerings, increasing social media
presence as well as increased visitor engagement, the annual attendance will
steadily increase. Updates and improvements within the facility and grounds
will be the launch pad for expanded programming.
As the Museum strengthens its position as the number one visitor attraction
in Middle Georgia it also increases the quality of life for the local citizens
due to increased tax dollars being spent in the community. As the quality of
life increases, economic development opportunities increase, which lures
other opportunities for expansion within the community. The Museum is the
catalyst for such growth.

CELEBRATE OUR HEROES
The Museum of Aviation is not only a
place to view history, but a place to honor
those who were captured, or who perished
to give us the freedoms we enjoy. These
heroes are honored throughout the
Museum, but nowhere is it more
pronounced than at our POW/MIA
exhibit. This exhibit is a tribute to all
branches of the Armed Forces, and the
losses that they and their families have
suffered.
Expanded programming
The focus on expanded programming is target specific programming as well as
improved all-inclusive events. Target specific events are designed to appeal to
groups such as millennials, family-friendly, company-based team building events,
family reunions, national and local clubs, etc. These types of events attract groups
that would not normally attend museum programs, and offer the largest potential
for attendance growth. By using this format, the Museum can attract groups
outside Middle Georgia and expand its reach in the Southeastern region.

Programming the movements of Lego
Improvement of all-inclusive events will utilize more spaces within the
Museum complex and on the grounds. Many spaces are underutilized due to
lack of funding and programming. As these spaces are improved and
updated, the events will have a greater opportunity for success. Operational
and marketing improvements to existing events will cut expenses and
increase attendance.
Increased social media presence and visitor engagement
As the marketing world has realized, the majority of engagement with a
customer is increasingly done through social media. With an improved
database that allows for greater attendee engagement, the Museum can also
dramatically increase its social media presence, which in turn will increase
visitation. Social media is a broad term and can be used in multiple formats
to reach multiple audiences. The Museum will tap into this powerful
marketing tool to increase awareness of Museum happenings and increase
visitation not only in Middle Georgia, but also in the Southeastern region.
Attendee engagement will be achieved by capturing attendee information
through an updated database system that allows the Museum to build a
profile of the attendee and send them information that appeals directly to
the attendee’s preference as described in said profile. This process allows
for follow up engagement and feedback on the attendee’s experience. It
also provides the opportunity to place the attendee into a detailed
engagement plan that will maintain routine contact throughout the year and
will contribute to repeat attendance.
Increased quality of life within the local community
By strengthening its position as the number one visitor attraction in Middle
Georgia and growing its presence in the Southeastern region, the quality of
life for the local community will be enhanced. The escalated attendance at
the Museum will increase patronage at local hotels, restaurants, and shops,
which will increase tax revenue for the local municipalities. An increase
such as this also attracts other entities to the community, which create even
greater tax revenue, and so on. By improving, updating, and using
progressive thinking, the Museum will not only continue to be the catalyst
for growth, but will be an even stronger catalyst than ever before.
The Museum of Aviation improves the quality of life in our community
through volunteer opportunities for retirees, senior citizens, and youth. The
Museum sustains facilities and amenities that provide places for families
and visitors to come together in meaningful ways.
Quality of life can be defined in many ways by many different groups of
people.
The Museum delivers a quality of life that reaches back to the past and
details the triumphs and sacrifices of our servicemen and women while
honoring their greatest victories.
It provides a quality of life that …
a. Describes the amazing works and useable technology that
the greatest minds of the aviation industry are providing us
today.
b. Suggests unlimited possibilities of a future that we all dream
for our children.

Goal #2: Preserve and promote aviation achievements and
history, and their impact on society while honoring our military
heritage.
Our preservation and care for historic aircraft, artifacts, and stories
requires a firm commitment to funding equipment and human resources
in an exceptional facility. All new exhibits and facilities are paid for
with private funding. Exhibits help to ensure that our citizens have
exposure to historical accounts and provide historical perspective so we
avoid the mistakes of the past. All other goals in this case are not
achievable without the fulfillment of this goal. The Museum’s strength
and longevity reside in the aircraft, artifacts, and stories of our military
heritage. Partners are crucial, as together we remember, honor, and keep
alive the stories of men and women and their families who protect and
defend our country’s freedoms through military service at home and in
foreign lands. This goal is critical to mission success.
Three key components of our goal for the near future are:
a. Fund the completion of the WWII Hangar, which was opened
to the public in 2008.
b. Continue to fund restoration projects for acquired aircraft. We
are currently underway with a full restoration of the B-17 and
the F-100 aircraft.
c. Lay the framework to break ground on “Hangar 4” in the next 5
years.
One of our fiercest challenges is with the increasing costs of
operationally maintaining the facility and services. We are at risk of
reducing our programming both on-site and with outreach efforts due to
lack of long-range funding. People are being asked to produce more with
less, and the economic climate continually influences the ability for our
constituents to pay for activities outside their daily living requirements.
Individual, corporate, and foundation financial support provide the
partnerships we need to achieve these goals.

A Call to Action
The modern workplace has radically changed in the past few decades, and the demands on those making the transition from classroom to
workforce continue to rise. Students from the U.S. no longer compete against each other for jobs; instead their rivals are well-educated
students from around the globe. Therefore, the goal to strengthen our position as a STEM Center of Excellence is paramount to the success
of our future workforce. We must grow our National STEM Academy programming through increased funding plans, increased
partnerships with local and regional higher learning institutions, and provide greater outreach to underserved groups. With long range
funding for our STEM programs, we can meet and overcome the educational and workforce challenges we currently face.
In order to strengthen the Museum’s position as the number one visitor attraction in Middle Georgia and grow its presence in the
Southeastern region we must adhere to the objectives detailed within this case for support. The Museum’s programming must be expanded
to target specific groups and the all-inclusive programming must be improved as to cut operational costs, and market to a larger audience.
As program offerings are being expanded, the Museum facilities and grounds must also be improved and updated to accommodate the
increased attendance as well as new program offerings. Long-range funding opportunities exist to fund this goal under an enhanced
Sustaining Partners Program. With the Museum solidified as the number one visitor attraction in Middle Georgia, the quality of life
increases in the community. With enhanced quality of life the community experiences exponential increased economic activity. A strong
Museum is a strong catalyst for growth.
By preserving and promoting aviation achievements, history, and its impact on society, the Museum continually honors its military
heritage. This is the basis of the Museum’s mission of “meticulously preserving our nation’s military history while growing exceptional
future leaders in aerospace through education and inspiration”. The lack of long-range funding makes it difficult to maintain and preserve
the existing aircraft and artifacts contained inside and on the grounds of the Museum. The Museum’s strength and longevity reside in the
aircraft, artifacts, and stories of our military heritage.
Individuals and companies cannot alone produce the broad based approaches to capturing the attention of our citizens in the same way as a
world-class museum. Nor can we as an institution provide all that is needed without community. We are stronger together to meet the
critical needs within the surrounding communities – education, skilled employees, job creation and retention, and American pride.
“Individual commitment to a group effort—that is what makes a team work, a company work, a society work, a civilization work.”
—Vince Lombardi
The Museum strives to support the Air Force of the future by:
• Portraying a positive public image
• Supporting recruitment efforts
• Reaching future generations with aviation-related science, technology, engineering, and math educational opportunities
• And, preserving United States Air Force heritage

8. CONSERVATION
The Museum has the honor of
preserving the history of our nation,
through careful and deliberate curation
of aircraft that have affected Robins Air
Force Base, and the nation. Our
Restoration Department works to
maintain exhibits, restore aircraft, and
create spaces that transport visitors
back in time.
AN EDUCATION IN HISTORY
Over 90 aircraft, missiles, and partial aircraft are
exhibited for the public, in an effort to provide
historical education through thought provoking
exhibits. From the T-6 Texan in the Eagle Building,
to the Tuskegee Airmen exhibit in the Scott WWII
Hangar, the Museum brings over 50 years of aviation
history to life through quality exhibition.
The Museum of Aviation is one of the
few large museums in the nation that
are free to the public on a daily basis.
Open 7 days a week, 362 days per year,
the Museum offers visitors an
interesting place to bring their families
and friends.
The Museum holds multiple events
throughout the year, beginning with the
Marathon, and ending with our
Nevermore Hills Haunted Trail. These
events provide something for everyone.
