Founded in 1992 and located just alongside Charlotte Douglas International Airport, the Carolinas Aviation Museum is home to aircraft and artifacts from the advent of aviation, including the iconic award-winning “Miracle on the Hudson” exhibition featuring the famed passenger jet that crash-landed safely in New York’s Hudson River in 2009.

Highlighting stories of innovation, hope and heroism throughout the history of aviation, the museum seeks to inspire visitors of all ages to pursue their own dreams and goals.
