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.

NEWS > 4/1/2010
 16th Avenue Update : The approach to the museum's parking lot gate -- the area between the new 16th Avenue/Valley Mall Boulevard and the airport fence -- has been greatly improved. The curb cut providing entry to the area has been widened, the terrain's up-and-down nature has been eliminated, and an approach road leading to the gate has been paved and striped. The realigned 16th Avenue connecting Valley Mall Boulevard and Ahtanum Road is open! It connects with Ahtanum at the same place it always has. At its northern end, the road connects with Valley Mall Boulevard a few blocks west of the 16th Avenue we had been used to; and there's a new traffic signal there.

We'll feature a “homegrown” product Saturday (Sept. 4) during the ninth in our series of airplane showcases. The Carbon Cub is manufactured by CubCrafters, located next door to the museum. The Carbon Cub, a light sport aircraft (LSA), is one of four aircraft produced by CubCrafters. Its sibling, the Sport Cub, also is an LSA. The Top Cub and Carbon Cub EX kit complete the roster. Light sport aircraft, as defined by the Federal Aviation Administration are those whose characteristics, such as gross weight and air speed, are under a certain limit. Requirements for obtaining a sport ...

We now have asphalt pavement all the way from Valley Mall Boulevard to the museum's front door, with some paved parking near the building. But much of the actual parking area, between the asphalt and security fence and asphalt and grass, still is unpaved for now ...

Chairman's Report : The new decade 2010 brought great news for the McAllister Museum. We have a new sign, thanks to the generosity of our membership and our “world famous” yard sale. In addition, Wells Sign of Yakima donated the installation fee. It gets better-the Museum received a very generous donation from a friend of the Museum.
