This week we bid farewell to our Assistant Director and Curator in Charge of Aviation, John Hill. John has been integral to our aviation museum and collection. Hired in 1987, John has held a number of different positions at SFO Museum, but his legacy is founding our Aviation Museum and overseeing the acquisition of over 140,000 objects into the collection. He also has an almost encyclopedic knowledge about the history of the Airport and is SFO’s unofficial historian. This is not a good bye but a see you later. We hope you enjoy your retirement! Have fun fishing!

“If you had told me when I moved to San Francisco in 1998, ‘Kenn, you are going to be part of a museum’s permanent aviation collection and will love it,’ I would have thought you were out of your mind.
