Carolinas Aviation Museum

Carolinas Aviation Museum

Founded in 1992, the Carolinas Aviation Museum is located on the grounds of Charlotte Douglas International Airport. By telling the story of the people who shaped our aviation heritage, the Carolinas Aviation Museum inspires future generations to write aviation’s next chapter. The museum is home to over 20 aircrafts, including the US Airways Flight 1549 Airbus known as the “Miracle on the Hudson.”

The Carolinas Aviation Museum strives to be a “must see” destination for aviation enthusiasts and an inspiration for young minds interested in the possibilities of science, technology, engineering and math (STEM).

The Carolinas Aviation Museum is steeped in the commitment to education and career opportunities for the young people of Charlotte-Mecklenburg and the surrounding areas. We believe that the Charlotte metropolitan area affords outstanding opportunity for great careers serving the aviation industry and we hope to build partnerships with all who share that same vision and belief.
