TRAVIS AIR FORCE BASE, Calif. -- The literal translation of “Volunteer Air Force” is a group of people who join the military rather than being conscripted or drafted. Loosely translated, the term means “there’s a job to do and you’re the Airman tasked to do it.”


At the Travis AFB Aviation Museum at Travis Air Force Base, California, volunteer force describes people who continue to serve the military, but without pay.

Travis AFB Aviation Museum Volunteers recently upgraded our exhibit of the Hollywood Musical, "Starlift". Warner Bros. produced the 1951 musical to support the troops involved in the Korean Conflict and to raise awareness regarding their service.

Directed by Roy Del Ruth. With Doris Day, Gordon MacRae, Virginia Mayo, Gene Nelson.

Operation Starlift was set in place by the Air Force and the Hollywood studios to have Hollywood stars perform at Travis Air Base for G.I.s in transit to and from the Korean War.


Volunteers make the Travis Aviation Museum work, and we are always in need of more volunteers. Volunteers educate visitors, work on inside and outside aircraft displays and maintain the museum facilities. Retired, civilian, or active duty - we need people with all skills and abilities (we’ll even retrain pilots!).

To volunteer, fill out the form below and mail it in.

(remember, it will get you out of your spouse’s hair for a few hours)
