The Museum was honored to be visited on the first week of January 2011 by Former U.S Secretary of Labor Elaine L. Chao and her father, who enjoyed their visit with Allan. She commented: "While in Fort Lauderdale, with my father, he and I visited the Naval Air Station Fort Lauderdale Museum. We were given a delightful tour by its founder, Mr. Allan McElhiney, a veteran of World War II, and copies of his biography One Man's Vision, which chronicles his efforts to preserve the Naval Air Station".
