As a public history facility, the Robins AFB Museum serves to educate and illuminate the U.S. citizenry. It also fits well into the realm of public history since three of the most important aspects of public history are historic preservation, federal history, and museum and historical administration. Indeed, over the last decade-and-a-half, the Museum of Aviation at Robins AFB, Georgia, has become a major depository that preserves important local and Air Force artifacts, as well as one of the largest aerospace museums in the United States. Its very existence bears witness to the fact that an important national museum with large and significant holdings can not only exist, but also can flourish in a location other than Washington, D.C., or some other large city.

Most Americans are familiar with the great national aerospace museums, such as the Air and Space Museum in Washington, and the Air Force Museum near Dayton, Ohio. However, in recent years, many regional aerospace and aeronautical museums have opened for the public display of historic aircraft and artifacts. They have provided opportunities for many individuals to examine historic aircraft and aerospace artifacts. They have provided these opportunities to a wide range of citizens, who, due to long distances, might otherwise have been denied such an experience. Distinguished among these facilities is the Museum of Aviation at Robins AFB. However, as anyone of the hundreds of thousands of people who have visited the Robins AFB Museum will tell you, this Museum is much more than merely a regional airpark or museum.
