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.
