Support the Museum

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!

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.

Rent the Museum

Planning a special event, such as a birthday or anniversary celebration and looking for a special place for it?

The Museum’s facilities (meeting room or hangar) can be rented for such occasions. Display area tours may be arranged ahead of time for an additional fee.

Rental prices depend on which areas you want to access: Meeting Room, or Hangar. Chairs and tables are available for the Meeting Room, but those wishing to use the Hangar will need to supply their own tables/chairs through a party rental firm. All clean-up must be done by the renting party.
