This future spaceman paid a visit to HFM’s August Fly Day in full astronaut regalia…
…And received a surprise photo op with a real Apollo astronaut!
We loved this card from a group of STEM students who stopped in for a tour of the museum.
“The [docents] were great! They gave personal attention to each and every one of my senior participants with amazing stories of each aircraft, photo and exhibit on display. They shared so many stories…offered water and took as many photos as we requested.
The museum itself was spectacular! Pristinely clean and easily ADA maneuverable. The planes and many other vehicles look so beautifully loved and cared for. I plan the Tulip Festival trip every other year and this wonderful tour will be added EVERY TIME!
Your museum is definitely a labor of much love. Thank you so very much and please extend our thanks once again to the [docents] for their time, knowledge and care for us every moment we spent there.”

“The Heritage Flight Museum was the perfect location for our company Christmas Party. The staff was friendly and accommodating, the venue was large enough for the number of persons attending, and the historical aircraft displays were a great back drop and conversation starter for the guests. Without hesitation we would use this facility again for company functions!”
