Founding partnerships · El Paso, Texas

Help bring a Boeing 727 back to life—for El Paso.

Put your organization alongside a nationally covered Boeing 727 transformation built around aviation, education, and community.

Two El Paso educators already did what many thought was impossible: dismantling, moving, and rebuilding an abandoned Boeing 727. Ten founding partners can now help advance the engineering, safety, accessibility, and visitor infrastructure for its next chapter.

The opportunity

The hard part looked impossible. We did it anyway.

The Boeing 727 was taken apart at El Paso International Airport, moved in massive sections, and rebuilt at its new home. Its planned next chapter includes aviation learning, flight simulators, STEAM programs, career exploration, community gatherings, and private events.

Founding partners can help turn proven execution into the engineering, safety, accessibility, and visitor infrastructure needed for the next phase.
