What kinds of activities does NAHA offer?
NAHA is the sum of its heritage sites and partners. The Aviation Heritage Foundation, which is the management entity for the Heritage Area, does not conduct programs on its own, but rather supports the various heritage tourism and historical education related programs of its partners. Partner events include fly-ins, such as WACO’s annual event, exhibits and anniversary celebrations marking milestones in the region’s aviation heritage. On October 5 annually, NAHA does mark the anniversary of practical flight out at Huffman Prairie Flying Field, a National Park site in the Dayton area. The highlight is a flight by a 1905 replica. Other annual events include Aviation Trail’s ceremonies marking the Kitty Hawk flights by the Wrights on December 17, and the National Aviation Hall of Fame’s annual enshrinement dinner held in July.
