Foundation Background

 

 

 

Welcome to the Army Aviation Foundation Website

The Army Aviation Heritage Foundation (AAHF) is a non-profit public educational foundation filed under section 501(c)(3) of the IRS.  The Foundation is dedicated to presenting the Army Aviation story to the American people through narrated, patriotic flying presentations and static displays of the actual aircraft and equipment used by the men and women who served in Army Aviation.  This is accomplished through the acquisition, restoration, and maintenance of historic flyable army aviation aircraft representing Army Aviation.

 

The Redstone Chapter was formed in June of 2003.  The purpose of the chapter is to establish a group of people in the Huntsville AL area to insure that the American public will get to meet the soldiers and learn of our military’s legacy of service and contribution to our Country.

 

Our military’s deeds will be recorded in history books but our veterans will not be heard. Our military aircraft will come to rest in museums, or stuck on poles, but they will never fly again.  How then will our Country’s military legacy live on, except in the hearts and minds of its veterans?

 

The Redstone Chapter of Army Aviation Heritage Foundation supports the National Chapter’s  four primary purposes:

1. Educate the American public to their military heritage through the story of U.S. Army Aviation’s soldiers and machines.

2. Connect the American soldier to the American public as an active, accepted, and admired member of the American family.

3. Inspire patriotism and motivate Americans everywhere toward service to their community and Country by involving them in our Nation’s larger military legacy.

4. Preserve authentic, flyable examples of Army aircraft and utilize them in aerial, educational "living history" demonstrations and presentations so that the symbols of America’s military legacy may always remain in our skies for future generations.

 

The Army Aviation Heritage Foundation understands that today’s soldiers and their families are watching how America treats her veterans. We are using veteran aviators and veteran aircraft to inspire Americans of all generations and ensure that our Nation’s military legacy and heritage of service are never forgotten.
