Mission and programs · 2022

Mission

THE FLYING HERITAGE AND COMBAT ARMOR MUSEUM WAS THE PREMIERE MUSEUM OF OPERATING VINTAGE MILITARY TECHNOLOGY THAT PROVIDED UNIQUE SENSORY EXPERIENCES TO INSPIRE AND EDUCATE DIVERSE AUDIENCES ABOUT TECHNOLOGY AND HISTORY THROUGH EXPOSURE TO FLYING AND FIRING ICONIC ARTIFACTS AND SUPPORTIVE EXHIBITS. ASSETS WERE SOLD DURING 2022.

Activities or mission (Part I)

OPERATION OF VINTAGE MILITARY TECHNOLOGY MUSEUM.

  • FHCAM RESTORES PLANES IN FRONT OF MUSEUM ATTENDEES. THESE PLANES ARE ON DISPLAY AT THE MUSEUM DURING AND AFTER RESTORATION. RESTORATION AND MAINTENANCE OF THE ASSETS CONTINUED WHILE THE MUSEUM WAS CLOSED AS A RESULT OF COVID-19, DESCRIBED BELOW, AND TO PRESERVE THE ASSETS UNTIL THEIR ULTIMATE DISPOSITION IN 2022.

    Expenses $2,029,380

  • FHCAM PROVIDES EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMMING ASSOCIATED WITH THE VINTAGE AIRCRAFT. THIS INCLUDES TOURS BY DOCENTS WHO RECEIVE TRAINING IN THE HISTORICAL, SOCIETAL, TECHNOLOGICAL AND SCIENTIFIC CONTEXT OF THE COLLECTION. IN ADDITION TO REGULAR MUSEUM ATTENDANCE, FHCAM HOLDS SUMMER CAMPS AND FIELD TRIPS FOR SCHOOL-AGE CHILDREN. IN MARCH 2020, THE WORLD HEALTH ORGANIZATION CATEGORIZED COVID-19 AS A GLOBAL PANDEMIC, PROMPTING MANY NATIONAL, REGIONAL, AND LOCAL GOVERNMENTS TO IMPLEMENT PREVENTATIVE OR PROTECTIVE MEASURES, SUCH AS TRAVEL AND BUSINESS RESTRICTIONS, TEMPORARY STORE CLOSURES, AND WIDE-SWEEPING QUARANTINES AND STAY-AT-HOME ORDERS. AS A RESULT OF THE SPREAD OF COVID-19 AND AT THE GOVERNMENT'S DIRECTION, THE MUSEUM CLOSED TO THE PUBLIC EFFECTIVE MARCH 6, 2020 FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE YEAR AND THROUGH 2021, TO BE REASSESSED AT A LATER TIME. UPON REASSESSMENT, THE MUSEUM REMAINED CLOSED AND ALL ASSETS WERE SOLD DURING 2022.

  • FHCAM HOSTS YEAR-ROUND EVENTS TO FACILITATE THE PRESENTATION OF THE AIRCRAFT AND ARTIFACTS OF THE COLLECTION TO THE PUBLIC. EACH OF OUR FLYING EVENTS HAS AN EDUCATIONAL COMPONENT WHERE GUEST SPEAKERS COME IN TO TALK ABOUT SELECT ARTIFACTS. ALL EVENTS WERE PUT ON HOLD STARTING MARCH 6, 2020 THROUGH DECEMBER 31, 2021 AS A RESULT OF COVID-19 DISCUSSED ABOVE. THESE EVENTS NEVER RESUMED IN 2022 AS A RESULT OF THE DECISION TO DISPOSE OF ALL ASSETS DURING 2022.

As filed on the 2022 return. The filer continues this part on Schedule O, which is not shown here.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us.
