About
Volunteers are an essential part of our Museum. Volunteering at the Flying Leatherneck Aviation Museum gives you the opportunity to learn more about U.S., Marine Corps and aviation history; befriend others with similar interests (including many veterans who served as pilots and aircrew); and, serve your community. We will teach you everything you need to know.
The Museum has the largest collection of vintage aircraft flown by Marine Corps aviators in the world as well as thousands of artifacts from World War I to present day. Thousands of local, national and international guests visit each year. Currently there are 27 aircraft on display. New for 2017 is an exhibit on the Navajo Code Talkers.
We are recruiting for the following volunteer opportunities:
- Docents (tour guides)
- Education program assistance
- PR and marketing support
- Gift shop sales support
- Restoration and maintenance of vintage aircraft
Volunteers also needed to help with Open Cockpit Days. The 2017 Open Cockpit Days are May 27-28, June 10-11 and 24-25, July 8-9 and 22-23, August 12-13 and 26-27 and September 9-10.
All training is provided. Our volunteer roster includes people from 16 to 95 years of age, many of whom are veterans who served as military pilots and air crew. All who enjoy learning about and sharing history, aviation science and engineering with others are welcome.
