Friends of Aviation Mission
Our mission is simple - we want to increase communication and cooperation between all people and organizations of Aviation and by that increase the public knowledge and support for Aviation. We want to keep the dream of flight alive and make it possible for anyone to experience what Flying and Aviation is all about. We would like to see the entire Aviation Community brought together as an overall cohesive group, working closely together to forward our common purposes. The educational, social and cultural values of Aviation are major and it is up to us to make the public aware of them.
Further, we belive that the many contributions of Aviation to humanity and indeed planet earth, as a whole, are vital. And that the world is better for it. We would like to raise awareness of the value of these contributions to the world.
