Friends of Bellanca Airfield, Inc. (FOBA) is a non-profit organization dedicated to preserving and restoring the Air Service, Inc. Hangar in New Castle, Delaware. Their mission is to honor the legacy of Giuseppe Mario Bellanca, an Italian immigrant and pioneer aircraft designer, whose planes achieved numerous endurance and efficiency records, including being Charles Lindbergh's first choice for a Trans-Atlantic crossing.

FOBA members and volunteers are actively involved in restoring the 1935 Air Service Hangar, which was built by Bellanca and Henry B. duPont. Located near the Delaware River, the hangar was part of an airfield and aircraft plant that produced thousands of aircraft before closing in 1954. Through their efforts, FOBA aims to preserve the history of Bellanca's contributions to aviation and provide a museum for visitors to learn about his remarkable achievements.

Overlooking the Delaware River in Historic New Castle, the 14,000-square-foot Read House is preserved as a National Historic Landmark and a beacon of design inspiration. It was completed in 1804 for George Read II, son of one of Delaware's signers of the Declaration of Independence and Constitution, with 2.5 acres of historic grounds developed between 1848 and the 1930s.
