The Carolinas Aviation Museum in Charlotte, North Carolina preserves aviation history by sharing the stories of the people who shaped the field and presenting artifacts that span civil, commercial, and military flight from its origins to the modern era. Its collection includes a full-scale Wright Flyer replica, a Piedmont DC-3, a C-130, and the US Airways Flight 1549 exhibit, commonly referred to as the Miracle on the Hudson. The museum welcomes a broad audience of visitors, aviation enthusiasts, and students seeking educational insight into flight heritage. 

As a small museum in the museums, historical sites, and zoos sector, it is based in Charlotte and operates near Charlotte Douglas International Airport. In late 2022, the institution expanded into a new 105,000-square-foot facility named The Sullenberger Aviation Museum, marking a significant development in its physical presence.
