About Liberty War Bird Assn.

Liberty Warbird Association is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. It runs a flying museum in Lititz, Pennsylvania. The group owns and operates a Bell UH-1H Huey helicopter called Huey 823. The site says the helicopter is the focus of its mission.

The mission has three parts. The first is to educate the public about the role of the Huey in the Vietnam War. The second is to honor those who served. The third is to restore the aircraft so people can experience its impact.

The site says volunteers restored Huey 823 to flight over several years of work on Saturdays. Volunteers still do the maintenance needed to keep the helicopter flying.

The helicopter travels to events across the region. These include municipal and community events, holiday celebrations, airshows and events for veterans. In some cases the group does fly-overs. Some events allow the helicopter to land so guests can see it up close.

The site has a flight requests page. The group provides flyovers and landings for static displays. Guides at these events explain the history of Huey 823. The group also provides speakers for organizations that honor veterans or teach about the Vietnam War. Speaker support has no cost unless it involves extensive travel or an overnight stay.

The site says the group keeps the helicopter flying through regular maintenance. Visitors have written that seeing and touching the Huey brought back memories of Vietnam service. The site describes these responses as part of the group's aim to honor veterans. Visitors can also sign up for the newsletter to get updates on events, and the site lists a Keep Us Flying donation page.

The site asks visitors to support the group through donations. The group has pages on Facebook, LinkedIn and Instagram. Its mailing address is 500 Airport Road, Suite T, in Lititz, Pennsylvania.
