History


The museum was founded in 2001 by Jerry and Peggy Thoutte with six flyable aircraft. The museum was initially located in a number of hangars at the airport, but moved into a new building in 2008.[1] The Thouttes retired from daily operations in 2016 and Michael Payne took over as director.[2]

On April 28, 2019, a PT-17 that belonged to the museum crashed on a beach in Discovery Bay, Washington, injuring two members of the museum's staff.[3][4]

An expansion of the museum is slated to be open in spring of 2023.

The museum is currently working on constructing a restoration shop.[citation needed]
