We received some very welcome information from Everett, Washington today with news that the Flying Heritage & Combat Armor Museum is due to open again in the near future following a three-year hiatus in operations. Now under new ownership, the magnificent collection hopefully has a much brighter future ahead of it than seemed likely just a short while ago, when the wholesale dispersement of its artifacts, gathered by the late Paul G. Allen, seemed imminent. While present details about the when and the how of the collection’s re-opening remain somewhat sparse at present, a brief social media statement issued this morning hints that the museum will feature some new additions for visitors to see. One can hope! We look forwards to further information, and will let our readers know more when it arrives.
I am glad that the museum is reopening
As are we all… many thanks for writing in Rick!
Great to hear it’s opening but terrible that it’s all moving to Arkansas in two years. Huge disservice for the PNW since it’s literally the only location for this kind of stuff.
G’Day OlFvet, It’s the only location for this kind of stuff anywhere, in a sense! I’ve traveled inter-continentally to see it, myself. I’ve learned that you’ve got to travel if you want to catch the highlights – and I reckon two years notice is a pretty good chance to have your fill. Go get it!
