New Hangar Coming Soon!

The Flying Heritage & Combat Armor Museum is excited to announce the addition of a third hangar and will introduce more than 40 artifacts including vehicles and planes in the coming year – making it the largest operational military vehicle and warbird collection on the west coast. This expansion is the result of the growth in historic military aircraft and iconic combat armor.

“Since it’s opening in 2008, our mission has been to offer visitors unique ways to explore and examine history, which we’ve accomplished by providing first-hand experiences with the world’s finest collection of flying aircraft,” said Adrian Hunt, executive director, Flying Heritage & Combat Armor Museum. “We’re thrilled to evolve the brand to reflect our ever-growing collection of planes, tanks and artifacts.”

FHCAM will break ground on a third hanger in 2017. By adding 30,816 square feet of new hangar space, the museum will increase its capacity to accommodate the growing collection of aircraft and vehicles.

As a diligent steward of military history for the Pacific Northwest since it opened, FHCAM has added numerous important artifacts that shaped the history of warfare. Spanning military planes, ground vehicles, artillery and iconic armor, FHCAM gives visitors a firsthand look at rare historic artifacts.

The Flying Heritage & Combat Armor Museum reflects Mr. Allen’s continued effort to educate, excite and inspire visitors to learn and appreciate military history by providing unique and interactive experiences.
