As we enter the summer season and the country opens back up, we are gearing up for a Army Aviation Museum Foundation G busy season. I noticed an unusually high volume of traffic on the interstate over the P.O. Box 620610 weekend and realized folks are eager to travel, visit family and trying to put 2020 in the Fort Rucker, AL 36362 rear view mirror. All this is good news for museums as well as others that count on attendance. This past Sunday, June 6th marked the anniversary of the D-Day landing, but it was also the 79th anniversary of the birth of Organic Army Aviation. General Order number 98 was signed giving the Ground Forces their own aircraft, pilots and mechanics as part of their Tables of Organization and Equipment (TO&E). Each Artillery unit would be authorized two aircraft, two pilots and one mechanic. These crews would travel and live with the unit in the field and provide reconnaissance, target spotting, medical evacuation and a host of other services.
