vintage aircraft collection
Museum is open by appointment only.
The history of aviation is rich and varied, starting with the Wright brothers in 1903 leading to the supersonic, advanced fighter jets of today. We focus our museum on a subset of aviation history, classic civilian aircraft from the 20th century, with an emphasis on the pre-WWII era.
These are not just airplanes in a building. These classic planes are beautiful examples of the merging of art and engineering. In our collection we display examples of what we feel is the pinnacle of civilian airplane design. You need to see these works of aviation art in person to appreciate them. We restore our aircraft to their original glory, with no plastics or phillips screws, and all our planes can still fly.
