The Historic Aircraft Restoration Project is an aviation museum located in Hangar B at Floyd Bennett Field in New York, New York.

History

In 1996, Arnie Migliaccio suggested the creation of a group of volunteers, working as part of the National Park Service's Volunteers-In-Parks program, to restore aircraft on Floyd Bennett Field. The project began two years later in Hangar B on the east side of the airport and the volunteers eventually became known as "angels".[1][2][3]

A number of the project's aircraft were previously on display at the Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum.[4][5][6]

In May 2002, the Berlin Airlift Historical Foundation's KC-97 arrived at the project's hangar.[7] The project provided space to the foundation as they restored the aircraft. After 15 years of work, the airplane departed the airport in November 2017.[8]

The project's volunteers were locked out of the hangar in 2019, allegedly due to a dispute over racial discrimination by another volunteer.[9]
