Special Exhibit: Over the Horizon

This event is presented in conjunction with Homecoming 250. The exhibit will run August 1st through November 9th, 2025 and is included with museum admission. Members attend for free.

From the early days of autogiros, to the tiltrotors of today, the U.S. Navy and U.S. Marine Corps have been on the forefront of power projection over the horizon. Helicopters are vital in that role, from anti-submarine warfare to landing Marines on a beachhead.

The American Helicopter Museum will use its collection of Naval and Marine helicopters, supplemented by models, videos, and photos, to show the development of how the helicopter is used in naval warfare.

In keeping with the museum's theme of "Helicopters Save Lives," we will also look at Naval and Marine helicopter aviators who have earned the Congressional Medal of Honor.
