PRESERVING THE HISTORY AND HERITAGE OF NAVAL AVIATION
The National Naval Aviation Museum is the world’s largest Naval Aviation museum and one of the most-visited museums in the state of Florida. Share the excitement of Naval Aviation’s rich history and see more than 150 beautifully restored aircraft representing Navy, Marine Corps, and Coast Guard Aviation. These historic and one-of-a-kind aircraft are displayed both inside the Museum’s nearly 350,000 square feet of exhibit space and outside on its 37-acre grounds.
A HISTORY OF ACHIEVEMENT
PRESERVING THE HISTORY AND HERITAGE OF NAVAL AVIATION
PRESERVING THE HISTORY AND HERITAGE OF NAVAL AVIATION
The National Naval Aviation Museum and the Naval Aviation Museum Foundation share a long and proud history. Throughout it all, a vision has endured—that the proud history and traditions of Naval Aviation can be preserved for each new generation, and that the honorable men and women who have served our country can continue to offer their strength, zeal and experience to the community.
The Naval Aviation Museum Foundation raises the funds necessary for Museum expansion; aircraft preservation, conservation and maintenance; and development of new exhibits, as well as providing support of day to day functions, including custodial services, marketing, operation of the Museum’s various attractions (such as our Naval Aviation Memorial Giant Screen Theater, flight simulators, Blue Angels 4D Experience and Fight Deck gift shop), and the production of major events at the Museum.
