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.

NMCA Gala - May 14, 2011
Our Annual Gala on Saturday evening was an opportunity for the Museum's supporters, advisors, partners and enthusiasts to come together and celebrate the achievements and milestones of the past few months. We are moving at a fast pace now, and will soon begin preparing next year's gala. A special thanks goes to Grant Wainscott for his central and vital role not only in planning this event, but in the Museum's overall success. Board members, advisors and volunteers worked together to ensure this event was fun and entertaining.

N113FE (B727-100) Moves to the Museum's Future Site
Today was a very special occasion for the Museum. The 2nd aircraft donated to us by Federal Express was carefully moved off the airport property through winding streets to our new location about 1/2 mile away.
We could not have done it without the remarkable help of the Clayton County Police, Georgia Power Crews, FedEx Mechanics, our own volunteers, and last but not least CAVU Aerospace. These guys did a great job and thanks to Ron Crysler our Project Manager for finding them. I am sure we will be using them again.
