The cost to build a site that is currently a cornfield into The Historic Columbia Air Center Airport / Museum Inc., an aesthetically state of the art, environmentally friendly general aviation airport
with a corresponding museum is approximately 1.5 billion dollars. 
It is expensive to build but the cost of not building to preserve the history and the site of the Columbia Air Center, the first Black owned and operated licensed airport in the United States is beyond comprehension. 

During World War II not only did the staff of the Columbia Air Center hear and answer the call to defend this country (some became Tuskegee Airmen) but the airport also answered the call to serve this country’s war effort when the United States Navy took over the airport to train pilots from 1941 - 1944.

The site of the Columbia Air Center is currently leased to a non-resident tenant farmer. The site is now a cornfield.

The Historic Columbia Air Center Airport / Museum Inc. will use some of the donations  / contributions it receives to pay costs to acquire the site or to acquire use of the site from the owner of the land to conduct the Historic Columbia Air Center Airport / Museum Inc., activities.        

It is time to tell and preserve some of the contributions of African Americans to aviation.  

Please help by contributing to this cause. No contribution is too small.

Thank you for your support.

May God bless you.
