We want you to experience the history of aviation in motion—that’s why our vision is to give you rare aircraft that are fully restored to flying condition. And we want you to understand how aviation has played a key role in shaping history itself, and how it will continue to shape our future.
But it’s the personal details that make history come to life. Every aircraft in our collection has a unique “backstory.” Some are packed with drama, some simply offer prime examples of the roles aviation played during 1927–1957— and fun facts about the people and events that make up our world. Dig into our collection, learn more, and come back soon for new stories!

I’ll forward your question to our web person.
John and everybody at the Historic Flight Foundation, I really enjoyed my visit to the opening weekend. I got a chance to go inside “Grumpy”, and I’ll be going tomorrow to see the Bearcat. Mr. Sessions, thanks so much for putting your time and effort into keeping these wonderful planes in the air.

I’m confused. . . . our local Vancouver Province newspaper here in Vancouver BC mentioned in regards to things to do in NW Washington that one was to visit your facility. I see elsewhere in this web page that the official opening isn’t until May 15, 2010 but in other places I see people talking about “the soft opening”. Does that imply that your facility had an unofficial opening already and is open daily for visits or is it closed until May 15th?
Clarification would be appreciated,
Thank you,
Jeff Laurie
