The idea for the society was fostered by Morton W. Lester, a well-known Virginia aviation enthusiast from Martinsville, who saw the need to preserve and display rapidly disappearing aviation artifacts in Virginia.
Our Mission:
Our mission is to inspire and capture the imagination by connecting people with the story of air and space in Virginia.
Our Vision:
We will be the premiere association respected for inspirational programs in preservation, education and appreciation of Virginia air and space history for current and future generations.
