Future Flyers

Our favorite educational program is the ‘Future Flyers’ Kids Area which was launched in January 2007. Our ‘Future Flyer’ Coordinator organizes aviation-related activities for the kids at each of our monthly Fly Days. Favorites have included designing and building aircraft or rockets from basic arts & crafts supplies, and writing letters to local soldiers in Iraq.

More projects and plans are in the works – bring your kids, grandkids and friends to a fly day and see what activities are available for your Future Flyer!

Field Trips

  • K-12 Educators – whatever the subject you teach, you know that getting your students out of the classroom is a sure way to inspire learning! We can offer tours of our aircraft and collections to school groups, or just provide space for you to do your own teaching in an inspiring environment. Let us know how we can help you motivate your students and bring aviation into your subjects. A basic tour can be conducted in about 45 minutes.
  • CTE and College programs – we offer tours and teaching/learning opportunities to you too! Got a project in mind for your class? Give us a shout!
  • University internships – getting your degree in Anthropology, Museum Studies, History or another subject? Why not complete your internship at HFM? We’ll want to know your area of interest, what you’re most interested in working on and that you can motivate yourself to complete work with little hand-holding and oversight. Contact us with your internship ideas.
  • Cub/Boy/Girl Scouts, home school & other youth groups – you’re welcome to organize a tour for your group, or plan your visit during our regular open hours. Let us know what you’re interested in, and we’ll help plan it!

To arrange a field trip or inquire about how HFM can be used for teaching and learning, please contact us at 360.424.5151.

Education Coordinators Needed

We are looking for committed volunteers, preferably with a background in education, who are interested in helping us develop and lead our youth education initiatives. At this time we strive to have a kid-friendly activity at each of our monthly fly days that is fun and aviation-themed. If you are interested, and can make at least a 12-month commitment, please contact us at 360.424.5151.
