The Foundation supports the Flying Leatherneck Aviation Museum, the only museum in the world solely dedicated to the preservation of USMC aviation history.
Of all of the things I'm looking forward to, it has to be the opening of the @FlyUSMC1 Flying Leathernecks museum in El Toro that's at the top of the list.
Thanks to @IrvinePolice and IPD Honor Guard for their generous donation to the Flying Leathernecks and the future Flying Leatherneck Aviation Museum. We look forward to working with the PD for the transportation and coordination of the Museum collection.#MarineAviation#GreatPark
