MICHIGAN’S LARGEST HISTORIC PLANE RIDE DESTINATION

Yankee Air Museum’s historic plane rides feature the B-17 Yankee Lady and B-25 Yankee Warrior bombers, the C-47 Hairless Joe Skytrain, the UH-1 Huey, and the Ford 4-AT-B Trimotor.

Guests can learn about the unique history behind each aircraft and also take a ride in them to fully experience what it was like to fly during those time periods.

    In recent years we looked towards a focus group to have a better understanding of how the public perceived our capital campaign and how our messaging was working overall. What we found were several issues that led to major changes in how we updated the public on progress within the campaign as well as what the overall messaging was. In turn, the focus group helped us to change to a more successful path.
