About Historical Aircraft Squadron

The Historical Aircraft Squadron, Inc. is an all- volunteer, non-profit organization dedicated to the restoration, display and operation of former military aircraft and related equipment in our hangar/ museum located at the Fairfield County Airport. The squadron was formed in 1994 by a small group of individuals who shared this common interest. Membership has grown and we currently have members representing a wide variety of ages, interests, talents and volunteer skills. Members and visitors are encouraged to participate in activities and events as well as to just stop by to "hang around" to enjoy the atmosphere of the aircraft and museum displays. We are a work in progress so there is always something new to experience.

The Squadron's restoration hangar has been completed and is the centerpiece of our future plans. The hangar is the focal point of the Squadron's activities and is located north of Lancaster at the Fairfield County Airport (LHQ) on the east side of Route 33. Additional buildings are planned to house the museum, completed aircraft restoration projects and static aircraft displays, military vehicles and museum memorabilia.

HAS is involved in many activities including the WINGS OF VICTORY AIRSHOW, museum and library development, attending airshows and other events with the PX, field trips and regular monthly meetings.

HAS is proud of many local and corporate sponsorships that support us with their generosity and make special activities and project possible. Sponsorship information is available and donations are always welcome. We are a 501(C) 3 organization and some donations are tax-deductible.

When visiting the HAS facility, follow the airport signs to the Fairfield County Airport entrance. The HAS hangar is located just to the north of the main entrance. A paved parking lot is provided in front of the building. Please be aware that the last gate to the north leads to an active aircraft taxiway.

Normal hours of operation for restoration and museum visits are Wednesdays and Saturdays from 9 AM to 5 PM at the hangar.. Sunday hours are 12 PM to 5 PM during the spring/summer months. Group tours by appointment on other days. School field trips are especially welcome. Please call ahead to ensure that a volunteer will be available.
