The interior of the Hickory Aviation has artifacts and memorabilia ranging from WWII to present day. Including a display about NC Natives Bill and George Preddy provided by the Preddy Foundation. Models are on display that show how aircraft design changed from the Wright Flyer to The F-18 Hornet. The Wall of Honor is inside of the museum, honoring members of our organization and local people that are veterans and then our Memorial Wall for those that have passed. Take a close look at ejection seats and flight suits. Also on display a Blue Angels F-18 Hornet.
