What National Stearman Fly-In Nfp Inc does
Mission
The primary purpose of the National Stearman Foundation is to host the annual Stearman Fly-in held each year during Labor Day week in Galesburg Illinois. In addition our event is to honor our Armed Services veterans and preserve the history of the iconic Stearman airplane which played such an important role during World War II.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990-EZ.
Program
During 2025 the National Stearman Fly-In NSFI hosted the annual Stearman Fly-In from September 1st thru September 6th. Approximately 80 biplanes were in attendance and an estimated 300 individuals associated with those planes also attended. In addition approximately 100 volunteers helped stage the event. None of the volunteers or board of directors receive any compensation. The entire community can view the planes and enjoy the daily activities.
