Fantasy of Flight Opens Second Storage Facility to Visitors

Moreno Aguiari Published March 15, 2013

The museum has over 40 vintage aircraft, real airplanes with names straight out of the history books.

Polk City, Florida-based aviation attraction Fantasy of Flight opened a storage facility onsite to visitors last year and it proved to be so popular with patrons that they now have opened a second storage hangar to the public.

The second building was made more guest-friendly to accommodate the expected crowds and contains some aircraft that are not often seen, including a Mitsubishi Zero, a Lavochkin La-11, a Tupolev TU-2, a Grumman JF Duck, a Fairey Swordfish, a Gloster Meteor and a de Havilland Vampire.
