Welcome

The Florida Aviation Historical Society (FAHS) is dedicated to preserving Florida’s aviation heritage and to promoting Florida aviation, aerospace and airports. FAHS was founded in 1977 in the Tampa Bay area by aviation enthusiasts who joined together to record, honor and perpetuate Florida’s rich aviation heritage.

Since 1977, FAHS members have built and flown reproductions of some historic aircraft. The reproduction 1914 Benoist Airboat was flown out of St. Petersburg, Florida basin to Tampa by pilot Ed Huffman, Sr. in 1984. It is on display at the St. Petersburg Museum of History.

FAHS celebrated 100 years of this first historic flight in 2014. All the organization activities are performed by volunteers and has no paid employees.
