Mississippi Aviation Heritage Museum

About Us

About Us
Created by a group of community leaders seeking to highlight the great adventures of John C. Robinson, the ''Brown Condor.'' Robinson was the first African American pilot to ever fight in combat in the Ethiopian War against Fascist Benito Mussolini in 1935 & 1936.

In time the museum dream grew to that of a place to not only honor Robinson, but those in the State of Mississippi whose influence had contributed significantly to the field of aviation.

33,000 Sq. Ft. facility with 22 galleries ready to entertain and educate young and old.

Learn about Mississippi aviation history with facts, historical artifacts, audio/visual media, and real airplanes.
Exhibit areas include a Bases Gallery which highlights the military bases in the state from as early as 1917 to the present.

The Mississippi Aviation Hall of Fame displays bronze busts and historical information about the greatest aviators and astronauts of Mississippi.

The Tuskegee Gallery highlights the story of the Tuskegee Airmen and their struggles and accomplishments. Other galleries venture from the Hurricane Hunters to Crop Dusting, so there is a wealth of information to learn about the role aviation has played in our great state.
