From Vision to Lift-Off

Round 7 Productions partnered with Progressive AE to tell the story behind the rebirth of the Sullenberger Aviation Museum — formerly the Carolinas Aviation Museum. When the museum lost its hangar in 2019, it faced an uncertain future. This film documents how a shared vision between Progressive AE and museum leadership reignited hope, leading to a bold new chapter for one of Charlotte’s most iconic institutions.

Design That Inspires

Through architectural storytelling and cinematic detail, the film highlights how Progressive AE helped the museum transform its mission — to inspire, educate, and elevate — by creating a space centered on STEM education, community connection, and hands-on experiences that spark curiosity in future innovators.

A Legacy Reimagined

With Captain “Sully” Sullenberger’s legacy at its heart, the museum now serves as a national symbol of heroism, innovation, and the wonder of flight. This project celebrates what happens when design and purpose come together — turning a local aviation landmark into a cultural destination for generations to come.
