For those who may be unfamiliar with the Air America Foundation, we are a 501(c)3 based out of the Space Coast Regional Airport (TICO) in Titusville, FL. next to the VAC. We are restoring a C-123 to her former glory, dressed in Air America livery with the goal or touring her on the airshow circuit as a flying museum dedicated to telling the story of Air America during the Vietnam war.
We are actively seeking new members and volunteers. If you live in the central FL area and want to get your hands dirty and work on a neat old bird, here is your chance! All volunteers are welcome, regardless of age or skill level. No experience is required! We have a very diverse crew of all ages working on the old girl, including a number of “kids” from Embry Riddle who regularly volunteer their time with us.

Our C-123 54-674 is an actual combat vet, serving tours in Vietnam, and later was involved in the Iran-Contra affair. And like many combat vets, she has the scars to prove it! Just one of the over 20 patches to be found on her…
November 18th was a milestone for both 54-674 and the Air America Foundation, as -674 now has a new home! Through diligent work and gracious donations, we were able to construct a new pad for the old girl, and now she is finally home and on “solid ground.” It’s been a very long time coming! Below are some of the pictures taken during the big move, enjoy!
Home at last!!!
