Just read about your Aviation Museum Project in PCFlight 4/2017. I think it is a good idea to try this way as well.

Thank you, Bernhard, that is very kind of you! We appreciate the assistance very much. It was nice of the guys to post the article, we actually found Bob Wards 146 sim through the PC Pilots magazine many moons ago. Merry Christmas and best wishes to you and yours from all here. Thank you again

A worthy venture needing all the support that local businesses, aviation companies, individuals, local and central government can give. So many talented young people need to be brought into Aviation to keep Ireland top of the board.

Happy Aviation memories

Thank you Chris. Lovely dedication. We often tell visitors about your dad and the day he spent here, he was amazing, we are very proud that we have him captured for all time. We look forward to the day when we can share his story in our little aviation cinema and display the 1-11 sim he sweated in! And so he is part of our story by sharing his story. Thank you again and best wishes to the family

Andrei Jatariu

Atlantic Air Venture is an incredible place for Shannon's community, especially for students. Not only the museum must be kept alive, but also future plans and good initiatives must become real. Only this way students can benefit from various events organised at Atlantic Air Venture, events which provide the basis for their planned future career in aviation industry. This is one of the pillars for Irish aviation industry to make sure that next industry professionals are highly skilled and educated.

Amazing Andrei, we are honored to hear those words, and as ever, you are doing the work of two men, thank you for your contribution, which is very appreciated, from all of us here, We rely on those in the aviation community to come and meet students, like you! it's vital that they have role models. Aviation has always been seen as a little intangible, we love to open minds and hearts to aviation, Thank you for being part of the next chapter of our story, we look forward to having you with us.

I attended an Aviation Camp at AAA last Summer and, although I am from Bermuda, I believe the Museum should be preserved at all costs for future aviators like myself and everyone else to enjoy. It was a wonderful experience.

Great to hear from you Trey!! That's fantastic, thank you so much. We still tell people about our furthest traveled Aviation Camp attendee : ) Hopefully we will see you back in Shannon again soon.

I visited a couple of times the museum with my two boys who went also to the Aviation camp - They had great fun and learned so much about flying and Aviation. The Museum Team and Jane are so dedicated in promoting Aviation among the general public and youngsters which is great to see especially with a limited budget. They put so much effort to preserve the Aviation heritage and educate the youth - I'm pretty sure the Museum will keep growing and will bring more Aviation Enthusiams around Shannon. Thanks for your effort and all the best!

Thank you, Francois, We do think its really important to help the next generation, and we couldn't do it without all the people who help us with talks and museum visits, and of course, the people who support us by bringing us their custom! Kindly thank you !

Jan Broe

Visited a couple of years ago from Denmark. Jane gave me the full tour of the museum herself, and I spent much longer time here than I had planned for, but simply could not persuade myself to leave before I had heard all her fascinating stories and anecdotes. Had a very pleasant day in the company of a person as bitten by the aviation bug as myself! People as dedicated as Jane are rare these days, and a place like hers, which both works to preserve the aviation heritage and educate the youth, deserved every cent. Thanks Jane for all your efforts. I will be back some day to see how it all turns out!

Hello Jan, I remember very well, Thank you so much for your generous donation, we really appreciate it! Also your very kind words, Its folks like you who make us want to keep going, you lift our spirits in hard times. Blue Skies and we will be in touch soon, and hope you will be with us at the opening event! Thank you very much again : )
