We are always looking for new members. Memberships are the lifeblood of our museum, and the income we generate from membership dues help support the upkeep of our Warbirds and the museum. We are a non-profit organization and are run 100% by unpaid volunteers. All of the money we raise is used to keep our planes flying and museum doors open. Please join today!
We wish to extend our heartfelt gratitude to Dr. Robert T. "Kip" Jones for his most recent, remarkable gesture: a generous donation in support of our Fly N’ Drive Fest, thoughtfully given in memory of his father, Robert T. Jones. This act of remembrance and giving embodies the spirit of the museum—bridging generations and inspiring all who walk through our doors. Dr. Jones: thank you for your unwavering support, your generosity, and your enduring friendship. Your commitment sustains our mission and shapes our shared legacy.

At Air Heritage Aviation Museum, we are privileged to have a community of passionate and devoted volunteers. Among them, one individual stands out for consistently going above and beyond, PAUL SCHILLIG. Today, we wish to recognize Paul, one of our longest-serving volunteers, whose unwavering willingness to step up and lend a hand has made an immeasurable impact on our organization.
Paul is not one to seek the spotlight. Instead, you will often find him standing quietly in the wings, observing, anticipating, and acting on whatever needs to be done. Whether the task is large or small, Paul takes it on without hesitation and, more remarkably, without ever being asked. His initiative and commitment to our mission are a testament to his extraordinary character.
Recently, Paul went even further by generously purchasing and donating safety vests and cones for our upcoming DRIVE N’ FLY FEST event, scheduled for Saturday, September 13, 2025. His thoughtfulness ensures that our event will not only be successful but safe for all participants and guests. This act is only one example of the countless ways Paul supports Air Heritage Aviation Museum, not just with resources, but with his invaluable time and exceptional talent.
Yet, it is not merely Paul's donation that deserves our gratitude, it is his enduring spirit of volunteerism and his remarkable heart. As the saying goes, “Volunteers do not always have the time; they just have the heart.” Paul embodies this truth every day, demonstrating a heart larger than life itself. #paulc.schillig
