We’re building a museum that finally tells the full story of the Air Commandos.

Not just the aircraft…
but the missions, the people, and the legacy they left behind.

We’d love to hear from you.
What stories should be told?
Who made an impact on you?
What does “Air Commando” mean to you?

Let’s get the conversation going.

‼️BREAKING: Your Future Favorite Museum Needs You!!!

Coming in hot (in like… 5 years), the Air Commando Museum will be the only place on Earth where you can walk through the shadowy world of the Quiet Professionals who get the job done when no one else can.

We’re talking legendary Air Commando missions, daring rescues, covert ops, and aircraft so cool they make your truck jealous.

But… we need your help to get it off the ground. And by “help,” we mean money. Cold hard patriotic dollars.

-Want to honor heroes? Donate.
-Want to impress your future grandkids? Donate.
-Want to casually drop “I helped build a museum” into conversations at BBQs? Yep—donate.

Because while Air Commandos specialize in the impossible… we still can’t build a museum on grit and duct tape alone. (We tried.)

June 8, 1997: The 7th SOS pulled off a heroic rescue in Brazzaville, evacuating 56 during Operation Firm Response. For their valor, they earned the Mackay Trophy.

23 minutes on the ground.
56 lives saved.

Help us honor them—support the future Air Commando Museum. https://t.co/auk0tDI6p3

Not Just a Long Weekend…A Sacred Reminder

We chose to share this message after Memorial Day, when the cookouts have cooled and the crowds have gone home, because sometimes the most meaningful moments of reflection come in the quiet.

Many spent the day in the sun with loved ones, just as it should be in a free country. And that freedom? It came at a cost.

For some of us, this day also held weight. We couldn’t help but think of names we carry close, and the teammates and friends we’ve lost…especially among our Air Commandos, who took on the most dangerous missions, often without recognition, and far too often, without return.

This isn’t about guilt, it’s about gratitude. We remember not to dampen joy, but to honor the legacy of those who made that joy possible.

To our fallen Air Commandos, we carry your stories, your bravery, and your sacrifice in everything we do.

Legacy. Valor. Never Forgotten.

First Air Commando Group –

Air Commandos have the pleasure of many “firsts”. Did you know the first use of a helicopter in combat was by an Air Commando? On 22 Apr 1944, Lt Col Clinton Gaty, led a flight of six R-4 helicopters on a daring combat search and rescue mission behind enemy lines! Technical Sergeant Ed “Murphy” Hladovcak, the pilot of a Stinson L-1A Vigilant liaison airplane, had crashed in the jungle behind Japanese lines while transporting three wounded British soldiers. The search and rescue mission was to take six R-4 helicopters deep into the jungle and locate the downed aircraft and personnel. Col Gaty was a true Air Commando pioneer and became the 2nd commander of the 1st Air Commando Group.

Happy Saturday, friends!

We’re building something truly special right here in our community—the Air Commando Museum—a place to honor the legacy and valor of our Quiet Professionals who’ve shaped history behind the scenes.

We’d love to hear from you:
Do you know someone who served as an Air Commando?
Have a story that deserves to be remembered?

Let’s make this museum more than a building—let’s make it a living tribute.
Tag someone, share a memory, or just drop us a “Can’t wait!” in the comments.

Who’s the Air Commando you still carry with you? The one who made you tougher when life got ugly. The one who kept you laughing when the world went dark. The one you hear in your head even now, telling you to get back up when you fall.

Their stories deserve better than fading memories. They deserve a place carved into history itself.

That’s why we’re building the Air Commando Museum — a place where courage, sacrifice, and brotherhood aren’t just words on a wall. They're the lifeblood of every exhibit, every story, every soul who walks through the doors.

If someone made you better...
If someone taught you what honor really means...
