Warner Robins and the Georgia Museum of Aviation
We are currently planning our 2012 Convention, to be held in Warner Robins, Georgia at the Museum of Aviation.
The city is named for Army Air Corps Brig. General Augustine Warner
Robins, who was instrumental in the establishment of the Air Corps
Maintenance Command, which evolved into what is now the Air Force
Logistics Command. The town and adjacent Air Force base was named to
honor him after his death of a heart attack in 1940. Robins Air Force
Base is a major Air Force Material Command logistics base and is also
the headquarters of the Air Force Reserve. The Museum of Aviation
opened in 1984 and has grown to become of the largest aviation museums
in the world. It's the second largest museum in the US Air Force Museum
System. The museum collection includes nearly all of the major troop
carrier aircraft, including the C-47, C-60, C-119, C-123, C-124 and
C-130, which makes it an ideal location for a troop carrier/tactical
airlift event.
