It's astounding, but did you know that an industry with nearly 100 years of history, that captured the world's attention as airlines were birthed, merged and died, and has grown to become the preferred mode of transportation does not have a dedicated national museum? Well we intend to change all that. Welcome to the National Museum of Commercial Aviation blog. Visit our main website at NationalAviationMuseum.com or call 404-675-9266 for details on becoming a charter member.

Museum receives it's first large equipment donation.
This is the first non aircraft donation we have received. We are thrilled to have this 1985 Ford 14-foot catering truck. Gate Gourmet International has been kind enough to donate this truck to us. We are very excited about this donation. As our name is meant to convey, we are the National Museum of Commercial Aviation. This means all aspects of how the commercial aviation world operates. We intend to have a full compliment of all the ground support equipment typically found at your local airport served by an airline.

SST on a stick....
An Air France Concorde is on display at Charles De Gualle Airport outside Paris. The Concorde was once flown by Braniff Airways in the late 70's for a short period of time in a joint effort with Air France. This picture was taken from a hotel shuttle bus on a recent layover in Paris.
Delta Jet Base in Atlanta.
EOS Airlines ceased operations last month and their 757's sit in front of Delta Jet Base in Atlanta. A World Airways MD11 tail sticks out of the hangar in the background.
