Membership

While the McAllister Museum of Aviation has a strong financial base in the endowment left in Charlie’s will, the operation is sustained in part by memberships, donations, and the sale of aviation fuel.

Membership Benefits:

  • Free admission to the McAllister Museum of Aviation and The Museum of Flight in Seattle.
  • Voting Rights
  • Quarterly newsletter
  • Discount of 10% on merchandise sold at the Museum
  • Discounts on aviation fuel purchased from the Museum
  • The knowledge that you are supporting Charlie McAllister’s legacy of aviation history in the valley!
  • Donations are tax-deductible
  • Attendance at board meetings.  The next meeting is scheduled for July 24, 2024 at noon.

You might find it interesting that there is still a cadre of individuals who were friends of Charlie’s that visit the museum regularly. You could expect to meet some old friends and acquaintances or make some new ones when you drop in.
