As we close another remarkable year, we want to extend our heartfelt gratitude to each of you—our supporters, members, volunteers, and friends. Your dedication to preserving the legacy of Army Aviation and sharing the history and value of these extraordinary aircraft is what makes our mission possible.

This year, thanks to your support, we continued to honor the memories of those who flew and maintained these aircraft. Every ride, airshow, and event has helped us keep these stories alive, ensuring future generations understand the sacrifice and service of those who came before. 

A HUGE Thank You to Our Volunteers

To our incredible volunteers—your countless hours of hard work, expertise, and passion are the lifeblood of the Army Aviation Heritage Foundation. Whether you’ve been restoring and maintaining aircraft, educating the public, flying LHFE, coordinating events, or doing one or many of a hundred other behind-the-scenes tasks, we are endlessly grateful for everything you do.

Thank You to Our Riders and Supporters

A special thank you goes out to everyone who purchased rides in our Huey and Cobra helicopters this year. Each flight not only helps fund our mission, but also provides a unique opportunity for others to experience a piece of aviation history firsthand.

Hurricane Helene Relief Effort

We were proud to have a role in the Hurricane Helene relief efforts, proving once again how the power of our community extends far beyond aviation. Together, we’re making an impact both in the skies and on the ground.
