Since 2015, the Fort Worth Aviation Museum has honored individuals and organizations who have made significant contributions to North Texas's aviation legacy. This recognition is known as our "Wings Awards."

Please join us on Thursday, January 16, from 5 pm to 7 pm to honor the 2025 recipients of the Wings Award. Refreshments will be served, and a presentation about the first powered flight in Fort Worth on January 12, 1911, will be included. The reception will take place in the Department of Aviation's Conference room at 201 American Concourse #330, Fort Worth.

Tickets are $25.00 and seating is limited.
