The story
The North Carolina Aviation Museum and North Carolina Aviation Hall of Fame displays a collection across two hangars of static aircraft, uniforms and memorabilia, and an extensive collection of aircraft models. Nearly all aircraft on display are privately owned and on loan. All aircraft on display are kept in flight-worthy condition and the collection changes periodically. Aircraft restoration and museum operations is performed by a small staff of paid employees along with volunteers. It is not to be confused with the Carolinas Aviation Museum, located in Charlotte.
