Friends of Vintage Flight (FOVF), LLC., is a non-profit (501C3) organization founded to bring the early American Aviation story to the general public in the form of a hands-on, flying WW1 warbirds. We currently have two planes in our hanger – the first a 1917 Curtiss JN-4 Biplane and the second a 1918 American-built DH4 “Liberty” combat warplane. These aircraft, will be managed, maintained, and flown by FOVF. FOVF consists of an all-volunteer group of aviators and aviation aficionados, who have worked most diligently to restore and bring to flight status each plane. FOVF provides educational background information, materials, and articles to community groups across the mid-west and south-eastern United States in conjunction with appearances of the aircraft. Educational topics associated with this important aviation icon include, early American entrepreneurs such as Glenn Curtiss and the Wright Brothers, principals of early aviation flight, famous aviators who learned to fly in the Jenny such as Charles Lindbergh and Amelia Earhart, the birth of the U.S. Mail Service and much more.

Funding and financial support of FOVF is used solely to support the mission. A ground crew as well as a flight crew accompanies all travel associated with the aircraft. Complementary print and visual materials will be made available to all media outlets in conjunction with each community visit.

FOVF is a 501C3 Kentucky based non-profit corporation, headquartered in Bowling Green, Kentucky.
