The Eagles Gathering is an annual celebration of the Flight Test Historical Foundation to recognize significant achievements in aerospace vehicle flight testing. The celebration honors both important events and the people who made those events possible. The Eagles Gathering is intended to provide an avenue of camaraderie, education, and as a way to commemorate and honor those individuals who have contributed to the historic advancements in aerospace development through these programs. The event is also a fundraiser, providing resources to the Air Force Flight Test Museum at Edwards Air Force Base, college scholarships, and a variety of STEM education programs.
The mission of the Flight Test Historical Foundation is to raise funds to support the development of the Air Force Flight Test (AFFT) Museum at Edwards AFB, Calif. And the Museum’s Blackbird Airpark Annex at USAF Plant 42 in Palmdale, near. The Foundation’s fundraising efforts focus primarily on improving museums, new construction, exhibits, aircraft acquisition and restoration, and a host of educational programs.
The Flight Test Historical Foundation is a tax-exempt nonprofit organization. The cost of the ticket, less $ 20, is considered a tax-deductible charitable donation.
