Exhibit:
Over the Horizon

Over The Horizon: U.S. Navy & U.S. Marine Corps rotorcraft operations from 1931 to today.

 

This exhibit is presented in conjunction with Homecoming 250.

​

From the early days of Autogiros, to the Tiltrotors of today, the U.S. Navy and U.S. Marine Corps, have been in the forefront of power projection over the horizon.  Helicopters are vital in that role, from Anti-Submarine warfare to landing Marines on a beach head.  

 

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 Metal of Honor.
