Aviation Archaeology

Aviation Archaeology (AvAr)

The Aviation Archaeology branch of the Society was established in 2006. CAHS has an inherent historical interest in the inventory of aircraft accident sites, abandoned airfields, navigational beacons, and missile silos.

AvAr is a membership program with the express purpose of collecting data on these sites for our archives, conserving our states’ aeronautical heritage, and educating the broader public. Program activities consist of researching, locating and defining these sites, then conducting field work expeditions. Members who are interested in this program will take part in a training course, produced by the North American Institute of Aviation Archaeology (NAIAA), to learn field work protocols and processes.
