Background

The Oakland Aviation Museum was founded in 1981 as a non-profit organization under IRS Code 501 C (3).  The museum's first home was a small room at Hangar 5 at Oakland International Airport's historic North Field.  In 1988, the Museum was granted use of the historic Boeing School of Aeronautics hangar built in 1939   The hangar serves as the primary facility of the Museum, providing indoor and outdoor exhibition space, an education room, a History Flicks room, a research library and aircraft restoration work areas.  We are proud to be a continued partner with the Port of Oakland and Oakland International Airport in preserving and presenting the East Bay's history of flight.
