As 2022 draws to a close, it’s a good time to look back at all of TIGHAR’s many accomplishments in aviation archaeology, aviation history, and historic aviation preservation during the past 12 months:

W don’t know how much TIGHAR spent to accomplish all of the above, since, as usual, they are several years behind on filing their required federal tax forms. At an average cost of $1,212 per day since 2000, though, we can safely assume it’s in the six-figure range.
