The Mission
Of course, the World War II hangars at Falcon Field Airport in Mesa, Arizona, hold significant cultural and historical value. These hangars were part of a training site for British RAF pilots during the war, symbolizing international cooperation and camaraderie. Today, they serve as a testament to the shared history and enduring friendship between nations.
The Falcon Warbirds Foundation plays a crucial role in preserving this heritage. By maintaining these hangars as a community space, they provide an environment for residents and visitors to learn about this important chapter of history, while also fostering a sense of community.
This synergy between preserving history and promoting community with local commerce entities, also promotes accountability among local civil servants, thereby contributing to the overall prosperity of the community.
