Support the Capital Campaign for the
Champaign Aviation Museum:
Building Expansion for Learning & Exhibits
We have reached our $1.81M fundraising goal to build the new hangar and construction is underway!
However, $230,000 is still needed to complete the connecting ramp, interior paint, and exterior brick facade. The ramp is a priority, and without it, we can't move our aircraft into the new hangar. Please consider helping CAM finish the building expansion and take part in our history to ensure the unique, hands-on learning experiences at the Museum are available for future generations.
Join us on this important mission!

Champaign Aviation Museum

​
The new building will provide:
-
Expanded hangar space and essential area for the imminent wing attachments of the B-17 Flying Fortress restoration and new opportunities to create programs and exhibits about the aircraft metalworking techniques and machining done by the Greatest Generation.
-
Opportunity for new educational displays highlighting WWII Veterans and their experiences while fighting to preserve our freedom, as well as the experiences of those on the home front.
-
More workspace for maintenance of our active aircraft in a public space so that visitors can observe and learn directly from our Volunteers. Expansion also allows the Museum to accept future donations of aircraft.
