Air Museum License Plates: A New Fundraising Idea?

January 4, 2007 10:32 am

In the Wilmington Star today, an article appeared announcing a new initiative by North Carolina that allows an assortment of non-profit organizations to offer special license plate designs highlighting their cause… and it includes the Carolina’s Aviation Museum as one of the over 150 that can be purchased now.  The plates cost $10-$30 more than standard plates, but $10 of the cost goes to the NC Parks and Recreation fund and the remaining amount goes to the organization sponsoring the plate.

Already known for the “First in Flight” license plates, North Carolina is proving to be a bit more progressive in allowing people to show support for their favorite cause! Perhaps readers should consider lobbying their state to introduce the same kind of program… imagine Yankee Air Museum plates, or Planes of Fame plates, or even CAF Diamond Lil plates (because WIX members have shown how popular she is!). Now your support for an aviation museum can be shown with more than just a window or bumper sticker… because if you are like me, you are running out of room in both of those spots!
