Volunteer Your Time
The growth of the Museum depends on members willing to volunteer their time. Please visit the Volunteer section for more information.
Featured Exhibit
First flown in prototype form on September 7, 1965, and named Huey Cobra, this helicopter was first delivered to the US Army in June, 1967, and within two months the helicopter was being used operationally in Vietnam. The Marines also operated armed Hueys in Vietnam, and their interest in this helicopter resulted in 38 AH-1Gs being supplied from the US Army production line in 1969.
The Museum’s growth depends upon members willing to volunteer their time and energy to work projects. Although membership does not automatically bring a working commitment, there are opportunities to get involved in many areas of work and service, whatever your interests might be.
Our mission is to create a scientifically 
literate
population that can
thrive in a world increasingly driven by information and technology.
Our vision for the future is a global community where students command
their own destinies by developing skills in decision making, teamwork,
problem solving, and communication.
