Originally opened in 1926 as a flight school by brothers Charlie and Alister McAllister, it was one of the longest running flight schools in the Northwest. After Charlie's death at age 95, the school was transformed into the museum it is today. We are located at the East end of the Yakima Airport, next to Cub Crafters, near the corner of 16th and Washington.

Annual Spring Yard Sale : Bring in your non-clothing items for the Yard Sale on May 10th . Funds from the sale, as always, are used directly in creating and improving the museum's displays.
Next board meeting is April 30th : The board meets at noon in the meeting room of the museum .
We are currently operating without a director : Volunteers are filling in until the Board of Directors elects to actively seek a replacement. What we most need is someone who has a strong sense of community and good fund raising skills, in order to help secure the museum's future.
Fuel Discount : Don’t forget that as a museum member you receive a 10c a gallon discount on your fuel purchases. Please see myself or Roberta to register your debit/credit card for your discount.
