The Historical Aircraft Squadron is a non-profit organization located at the Fairfield County Airport in Carroll, Ohio focused on aviation history.

History

The organization was founded in 1994.[1] The following year, the organization considered building a museum with the promise that they might receive an airplane from Dave Tallichet.[2] This came to pass in May 1998 when it was lent a Douglas A-26 Invader from his Military Aircraft Restoration Corporation.[3][4] Eventually, it was joined by another A-26 and a North American B-25 Mitchell that were also placed on loan to the museum.[5][6] The restoration of the first A-26 was completed in September 2009 and two years later left the museum for the 1941 Historical Aircraft Group Museum.[7][4]

In the meantime, the organization built a new hangar at the airport in 2000, which it signed a 10-year lease for the next year.[8][9] A Grumman S2F-1 Tracker was based with the squadron for a time in 2002.[10] A plan for a church to build a new hangar at the airport in 2006 caused the museum to express concerns that it might lose some of its ramp space.[11]
