American
Airpower Museum
at Republic Airport, Farmingdale, NY
The American Airpower Museum's strategic
mission is the preservation of the legacy of
all Americans who have sacrificed themselves
to defend our liberties and to educate a new
generation regarding the courage, valor and
heroism of our nation's citizen soldiers by
presenting the operational aircraft and
armor in the museum’s collection and its
related displays, exhibits and programs.
Some sixty five years ago, the current home
of the American Airpower Museum at Republic
Airport was a crucial part of the "Arsenal
of Democracy". Home to Republic Aviation,
the complex produced over 9,000 P-47
Thunderbolts in Farmingdale.
The "Jug", as it was called because of its
robust assembly line construction, went on
to defeat the best fighter pilots the German
Luftwaffe could muster.
Today, no American aviation museum with a
squadron of operational World War II
aircrafts has a more appropriate setting for
its flight operations. Taxing to the very
runways and hangars that dispatched
Thunderbolts to war, vintage aircrafts
recreate those turbulent years and allow the
public to watch these planes in their
natural environment - the air.
This exciting effort to keep our history
alive is made possible through state grants,
corporate underwriting, personal
philanthropy and gifts from people like you.
Also, critical to the establishment of this
museum was the cooperation of the airport's
fix based operator, SheltAir and the
Republic Airport management team. We are
grateful to our benefactors, and to you, for
your admission fee. Your dollars help meet
museum costs including utilities, aircraft
maintenance, building repair, and exhibit
construction. While thousands of hours have
been donated, the dollars requested from you
are tax deductible and are put to immediate
use to ensure your family's experience at
the Museum is memorable.
P-47 Thunderbolt The museum is able to
operate because of the role of its volunteer
corps. Individuals who share our enthusiasm
for keeping alive the colors of our American
military heritage are invited to contact us
directly so that they can join this group of
diverse people with a common objective.
