While in our development stage we are focusing our
efforts toward our primary objectives through:
• Restoring aircraft for display
• Building historical replica aircraft
• Educational programs
• Community programs
Our working facility, Hangar One at Bolingbrook’s Clow International Airport, provides an excellent base from which to launch these programs. This renovated 6000 square foot hangar, provided by the Village of Bolingbrook, has classroom, office and work shop space.
