Support the Museum
Help Keep us climbing
Donate to the Michigan Flight Museum
2025 has been an extraordinary year of growth—from flying more than 3,000 passengers to expanding educational programs and launching our 2025–2030 Strategic Plan. We also paid off our headquarters mortgage and created our first endowment, securing a stronger future for the Museum.
But to keep this momentum soaring, we need your support. Your gift directly fuels our aircraft, our exhibits, and our mission to preserve Michigan’s aviation heritage while inspiring the next generation of flight.
Please consider making a donation today. Together, we can continue reaching new heights.
Mission Accomplished
Goal Reached!
Thanks to the incredible generosity of our donors and the dedication of our volunteers, veterans, students, and supporters, we reached our goal!
After more than 12 years of hard work, the B-52D Stratofortress has been beautifully restored and preserved for future generations.
We are deeply grateful to everyone who donated, volunteered their time, shared their expertise, and supported this remarkable project. This restoration would not have been possible without you.
Thank you for helping preserve an important piece of aviation history, and for giving this legendary aircraft the care it deserves. Stay tuned for more exciting news!
