Flying High: The Naval Aviation Museum Foundation’s Mission to Preserve and Honor Naval Aviation History

Greetings to Members and Subscribers of Americans for a Stronger Navy,

Today, we are shining a spotlight on the Naval Aviation Museum Foundation, one of the largest and most influential organizations supporting the U.S. Navy. As part of our ongoing effort to showcase auxiliary organizations that share our mission to educate and raise awareness about the importance of a strong Navy, we are excited to feature the Naval Aviation Museum Foundation on our blog at StrongerNavy.org.

The Naval Aviation Museum Foundation was established in 1966 and is dedicated to preserving the history and heritage of naval aviation through supporting the National Naval Aviation Museum. With a revenue of over $20 million, the foundation has become one of the largest and most impactful organizations supporting the Navy’s aviation community.

The foundation’s mission is to educate and inspire the public on the history and development of naval aviation, as well as support the museum’s efforts to preserve and exhibit aircraft and artifacts of naval aviation. The foundation offers membership to individuals and organizations, with various levels of engagement and benefits.

As part of its programs and initiatives, the foundation hosts events, exhibitions, and educational programs for the public, including school tours, lectures, and STEM programs. The foundation also provides funding for the museum’s exhibits, restorations, and acquisitions, as well as supports the museum’s research and publications on naval aviation.

The Naval Aviation Museum Foundation’s impact on the Navy’s mission is significant, as it plays a crucial role in preserving the history and heritage of naval aviation and educating the public on its importance. Through its support of the National Naval Aviation Museum, the foundation ensures that future generations will understand and appreciate the Navy’s aviation community and its contributions to national defense.

The foundation’s work aligns with the mission of Americans for a Stronger Navy, as both organizations share a commitment to educating and raising awareness about the importance of a stronger Navy. By supporting the foundation’s efforts, readers can contribute to the preservation and exhibition of naval aviation history, as well as inspire future generations to pursue careers in naval aviation.

“China Blindness” says Commander of Office of Naval Intelligence says News Reports

Rear Adm. Mike Studeman, the commander of the Office of Naval Intelligence, has criticized the “China blindness” of most Americans in understanding the threat posed by China. Speaking at the West 2023 conference in San Diego according published accounts from Justin Katz, BreakingDeadefense.com. Reports also quoting Studeman “blamed the problem on a “knowledge crisis,” but also accused the Pentagon of overclassifying information”. The admiral also addressed the issue of the US policy on Taiwan, saying that the country should maintain its policy of “strategic ambiguity” regarding the possibility of military intervention in the event of a Chinese invasion. The comments came in the wake of the Chinese government deploying a high-altitude balloon over US airspace.
