Beautiful collection. I wonder if any of the aircraft, such as the
comet or V-1 are replicas? I was surprised to discover that there is
a big business in making museum replicas.



The only replicas in the Museum are the
mockups of the 2 atomic bombs. The placards
for each airplane and tank includes where
the item came from and how the museum
(funded by Paul Allen, of Microsoft fame)
acquired it.

Many of their aircraft are airworthy and flown several times a year at
'Fly Days' Some really nice birds.

They recently changed the name to Flying Heritage & Combat Armor
Museum (from Flying Heritage Collection, lots of functional armor,
too)
