Major progress taking place on the Hanoi Hilton POW Experience Exhibit at the American Heritage Museum in Hudson, MA (a program of the Collings Foundation). Some of the significant design elements have been installed and the plaster treatment and aging of the original reconstructed cells has been completed, resulting in a very somber and humbling appearance when considering the isolation and torture of the POWs who were kept there for years. We look forward to opening this important exhibit in February to honor our veterans and POWs of the Vietnam War. See more photos and learn more at

The nation and the entire Warbird community is stunned and saddened by the shocking loss of two iconic World War II aircraft owned and operated by the Commemorative Air Force (CAF). We join in mourning the CAF crew lost in this tragic accident and offer our heartfelt prayers during this extremely difficult time.
Plainly put, the Collings Foundation would not exist without the dedicated help of our volunteers. Whether they are “manning” the PX as a part of the nationwide bomber tour, turning wrenches on one of our many planes, maintaining support equipment for airplanes such as the F-4, or answering the phones and pushing papers in the office; their time and talents are the treasure that keeps the Foundation going.
Every time a Collings Foundation engine is heard overhead, remember that it is there because of the thousands of hours our volunteers put in throughout the year. Like the dedicated crews in WWII, Korea, and Vietnam, they stand-by and support the aircraft without complaint.
We extend a heart-felt thank you to all of our volunteers.
We are always looking for volunteers to help. Below are some of our volunteer opportunities that you may be able to help with:
