OUR MISSION
The Army Aviation Heritage Foundation (AAHF) is a national, one-of-a-kind non-profit all-volunteer organization composed of Veterans, their families, and civilian supporters. The AAHF is acting to connect the American soldier to the American public as an active, accepted, and admired member of the American family by presenting the story of Army Aviation and the American soldier. The AAHF is providing America an opportunity to hear its Veterans share their stories and see its military legacy in flight and in action.
OUR HISTORY
One of the unique functions of the AAHF is to obtain, restore and maintain in flyable condition, examples of historic aircraft representing Army Aviation from Vietnam to present. No other known educational foundation is totally dedicated to preserving only flyable U.S. Army Aviation aircraft for future generations of American to experience.
Following acquisition of an aircraft, the AAHF has four primary tasks:
* Incorporated as a Non-Profit Domestic Corporation, in June of 1997.
* Received I.R.S. approval as a 501 (c)(3) public educational foundation. (Donations of money and equipment are fully deductible under IRS guidelines).
* Qualified to receive Federal surplus property and supplies through the Federal Surplus Program.
OUR FOUNDATION
In 1997, the AAHF was organized by a group of concerned citizens and veterans to improve the public's awareness of Army Aviation and it's Veterans.

To secure the long-term success of this "first-of-a-it's-kind" the organization has:
