In October 2004, the Yankee Air Museum at Willow Run Airport suffered a terrible fire
that destroyed the historic hangar housing the museum. Obviously, tours of that facility
can no longer be offered. The Michigan
Aerospace Foundation was created to raise funds for its rebuilding.
All the historic aircraft on display outside of the main building were untouched by the
fire, and the restored B-17, C-47 and B-25 aircraft were rescued from the building before
the fire reached them, thus saving the heart of the collection. Unfortunately, a few
non-flyable aircraft, tools and equipment, and an irreplaceable collection of artifacts
were lost.
We encourage you to check in regularly at the YAF site to see what events are scheduled. Open
houses and flights are available.
