As the Mississippi Aviation Heritage Museum Aviation Summer Camps grows, we must never forget the man that made it happen. Todd Young was a selfless volunteer with incredible knowledge of aviation. An educator who touch the visitors with his passion for flight. A man willing to sleep in his van at the Walmart parking waiting for Thursday when the museum open. That day he fell in love. And he never left until it was call home to heaven. Today the museum thrives, his famous award winning “Paper Airplane” is folded by the visitors. Our yearly “Paper Airplane” contest is testimony of his legacy! We miss you Todd Young!
