The Tunison Foundation is a 501c3 non-profit corporation who owns and operates three World War II airplanes. They are the C-47 Dakota, C-45 Twin Beech and PBY-5 Catalina that you see in our logo. Our mission is to educate the public about World War II and our veterans via these historic airplanes.

The primary way that achieve this mission is with Placid Lassie, a World War II USAAF C-47. She flew combat missions in Europe on D-Day, Market-Garden, Bastone and crossing the Rhine. A real war hero. We fly at airshows and bring her to fly-ins. We also assist re-enactors by conducting parachute operations at air shows.

We also fly a former USAAF, and later US Navy, C-45. This plane was primarily a trainer during World War II, but served our country for over 30 years before being sold to the public.

Thirdly is our Consolidated PBY-5 Catalina flying boat. During World War II she served the US Navy in a patrol squadron based out of NAS New York (Floyd Bennett Field). After the war she flew survey missions in Canada for a succession of companies. Her flying carreer ended in 2001. Since then she has only flown three times and needs extensive restoration. We are seeking donations begin her restoration.

Please explore the site and learn about the history of our airplanes. If you would like to see them, check out our events page. If you would like to see us at your airshow or fly-in reach out to us via the “about us” button. If you would like to help us keep the planes flying or help us find a permanent home, use the donate button or purchase some of our merchandice. If you see us at an airshow, stop by and say “hi”.

Vulcan XH558 is owned and operated by Vulcan to the Sky Trust, a British charity established to maintain and operate this remarkable aircraft.

The Avro Vulcan is an iconic example of British aerospace engineering at its world-beating best. Its impressive list of technical achievements includes being the first successful large delta wing aircraft, leading directly to Concorde and the Space Shuttle, and delivering performance and agility so close to a jet fighter’s that it was given a fighter-style control column in place of the traditional bomber pilot’s yoke. That agility allowed XH558 to deliver amazing air displays, which unfortunately finished in 2015, but there are great plans to use her as an inspirational centrepiece in a future ETNA Centre. Now the Trust is expanding its horizons with inspirational work to demonstrate engineering excellence in early generation jet-engine aircraft with the planned restoration of Canberra WK163. Keep in touch with our newsletters to find out more.

AeroAntique presents vintage military aircraft instruments and other aviation-related artifacts from the 1940’s, 50’s, 60’s, and 70’s, for the restorer, preservationist, or collector interested in aviation history. Our inventory includes artifacts from aircraft of the US Navy, US Army Air Corps (i.e., pre March 1942), US Army Air Force (March 1942 to Sept 1947) and the US Air Force (post Sept 1947), as well as air forces of other nations, past and present. Most of these instruments came into our possession via liquidation of US air bases during the 1970-90’s, and our mission is to put them into the hands of aircraft restorers or air museums where they can be of benefit to others. Photos and lists of items are available at our website, including downloadable reference files. Contact us via email anytime.
