Project Tweet
We are working on acquiring and restoring a T-37B "Tweet" to airworthy status. It's a lofty goal but one we are dedicated to.
Keep the
record
Aviation history in Arizona — its airframes, its airfields, its people. We restore what can still fly, document what can't, and keep the record where anyone can reach it. Everything we hold was saved by someone who refused to let it go.
What we preserve, what we restore.
T-33 Shooting Star
Our T-33, in The Copperheads livery of the 197th Fighter Interceptor Squadron — a tribute to the Arizona Air National Guard, past, present, and future.
No. 4 British Flying Training School
Falcon Field, Mesa. Where nearly 2,000 RAF cadets trained from 1941 to 1945, under Arizona's sunny skies. AAHG is a proud partner of the No. 4 BFTS organizations in the US and the United Kingdom.
Patriot Skies
Honoring those who served, through ceremony, film, and partnership with the BFTS community.

An Evening with Jessica Cox
Born without arms, Jessica Cox is the world's first licensed armless pilot.
Education, Preservation, Restoration.
Each mission is vital. None of them happen without your help.
Education
Right now — active partner with the No. 4 BFTS organizations in the United States and the United Kingdom.
Preservation
Right now — two original BFTS hangars at Falcon Field are listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
Restoration
Right now — the T-33 is operational and appears at airshows and fly-ins around the southwestern United States.
All three of these need more hands. If you've got a Saturday, we've got the work — and the coffee.
Numbers worth
remembering.
A few of the figures behind the programs we keep — the airfield, the cadets, the squadron, the airframes.
