An Interview With the Irish Aviation Foundation's Jane Magill

Jane Magill
Director, Irish Aviation Foundation

What is the mission of the Irish
Aviation Foundation/Shannon
Aviation Museum?
Shannon Aviation Museum's mission is
to inspire and foster the next generation
of aviation professionals. We provide
an interactive, fun, educational and
inspirational experience that touches
individuals from every generation,
opening hearts and engaging minds

to myriad possibilities within aviation,
professionally or recreationally.
Our programs and activities
convey the sheer excitement and
joy of flight with the aim of inspiring
future generations to consider a
career in aviation. The Aviation
Discovery Centre acts as a pipeline
of passionate candidates for both the
aviation industry and educational/
training establishments.
What is unique about aviation
in Ireland?
Ireland has contributed tremendously to
the global aviation industry, and Shannon
has a unique aeronautical history, which
is largely unknown and unrecognized.
We aim to showcase the history
of aviation, particularly Shannon's
rich heritage and global contribution,
and to preserve Ireland's aeronautical
heritage as the custodians of historical
aircraft, artifacts and memorabilia for
future generations.

Museum.

Why do you think grants like these
are important in this industry?
The first century of flight has turned
the corner, and no other single event
in the history of the modern world
has changed the social, cultural and
economic life of people than the birth
of the aircraft.
There is no doubt that aviation
holds a special fascination for mankind.
Within a short span of time, we have
gone from rudimentary powered flight
to landing on the moon.
Despite its immense attraction, at
times aviation is often seen as elitist in
today's society, and, in our experience,
teachers and career guidance
counselors are unaware of the huge
diversity of aviation careers. There are
many preconceptions about the industry
because people generally recognize
pilots, cabin crew, engineers and
possibly air traffic control as the only
aviation career paths, and many young
people have never met a female pilot.
