ABOUT THE PROJECT
Inspire Aviation Foundation
Inspire Aviation Foundation is a 501c3 non-profit organization dedicated to the goal of bringing a world-class air and space museum and educational center to the Atlanta metro area, announced the next step in this potential development process with the launch of a master study to evaluate the feasibility of the museum and educational campus at Peachtree Dekalb Airport.
The Georgia Air & Space Museum was born from a group of civilian and military aviation professionals and enthusiasts who want children from 1 to 100 to dream of flying; not only in earth’s rarefied air...but to quote Buzz Lightyear “To Infinity and beyond!”
Georgia has a rich history of aviation, manufacturing, transportation, logistics and a growing future in aerospace, that are a significant part of the story of the dream to fly and to reach for the stars. Early hot air balloons in the Civil War, one of the first WWI aviation training schools, Lindbergh’s first solo, the first female African-American pilot, WWII Naval Air Stations, the Bell Bomber plant and the major socio-economic changes it brought to the South, the home of the one of the world’s largest airlines, one of the world’s largest logistical package carriers, corporate business jet production, traveling in space and the challenges of living in new environments – the story of Georgia’s role in history that changed the world, exploration of new frontiers and the human stories behind the history, are a rich opportunity to inspire young and old to learn why, how and where we came from and the path forward into the future.
