Our very own Douglas C-47 Skytrain, “LUCK OF THE IRISH,” was featured in "The Press of Atlantic City" this past Sunday, along with two of our pilots: Naomi Wadsworth, who flies our C-47, and Bill McKendry, who flies our Fairchild C-123 Provider "Thunder Pig." The article highlighted the warbird’s participation in AirFest at the Naval Air Station Wildwood Aviation Museum, and we’re grateful for the recognition!

It is with heavy hearts that we share the passing of one of Air Heritage Aviation Museum’s greatest supporters and longtime members, United States Air Force Staff Sergeant Chris “Vid” Vidovich.
Chris proudly served his country as a veteran of the Iraq War, where he worked as a crew chief from 2001 to 2008. He was stationed at Tyndall Air Force Base in Panama City, Florida, continuing his commitment to service with dedication and professionalism.
Beyond his military service, Chris was a valued part of the Air Heritage Aviation Museum family. His support, friendship, and lasting contributions to help restore the McDonnell Douglas F-15A Eagle fighter jet at the museum will be remembered with deep gratitude by all who had the privilege of knowing him.
We extend our sincere condolences to Chris’s family, friends, fellow veterans, and all whose lives he touched. His service and memory will continue to be honored. (Please see comments for information on Chris's funeral services.)
