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