Membership DetailsOur Mission
The mission of the Wings of Freedom Aviation Museum is dedicated to preserving and celebrating the rich aviation heritage of the Delaware Valley Region, including:
- The history of Harold F. Pitcairn’s contribution to the early development of fixed wing and rotary winged flight
- The military presence at the former Naval Air Station Joint Reserve Base Willow Grove
- Our service men and women who supported military aviation through the years
Through the collection, conservation, and interpretation of historically significant aerospace artifacts, we strive to provide inspiring educational experiences for current and future generations.
We have a unique and historically significant collection of aircraft and artifacts, including aircraft from the early days of flight, World War 1, World War 2, the Korean War, the Vietnam War, the Cold War Era, the Gulf War, the Balkan War, the Iraq War, and the War in Afghanistan.
