Fly into Fun at the Hickory Aviation Museum!
National Aviation Day is the perfect occasion to explore the fascinating world of flight, and there's no better place to celebrate than the Hickory Aviation Museum!. The Hickory Aviation Museum, a non-profit organization passionately run by volunteers, began as a dream in the early 1990s. It all began when Kregg and Kyle Kirby discovered an abandoned airplane in a ballpark in Taylorsville, North Carolina, and knew that it belonged in a museum. They transported the aircraft to Hickory Regional Airport, marking the beginning of a growing collection. In 2007, the City of Hickory and the Hickory Regional Airport allocated space inside a former air terminal and on-ramp to be the new home of the Hickory Aviation Museum. Today, the collection has over 30 aircraft, cockpits, and fuselages, and just received its newest aircraft, an AV-8B Harrier II jet, in July. Check out the fly-in video here!
