Olympic Flight Museum, Aviation museum and hangar at Olympia Regional Airport, Tumwater, United States.
The Olympic Flight Museum is an aviation museum housed in an active hangar at Olympia Regional Airport, featuring a collection of aircraft from World War II through the Vietnam War era. The collection includes military jets and civilian planes spanning multiple decades of aviation history.
The museum was established in 1998 as a non-profit organization dedicated to preserving historical aircraft and sharing their importance in aviation development. The collection documents aircraft evolution across multiple decades of technical advancement.
The aircraft on display represent important milestones in aviation development that shaped how people travel and think about flight. Visitors can see machines that once served in different purposes and understand their role in technical progress.
Access is provided through the active airport, and visitors can observe maintenance work being performed on aircraft in the workshop areas. The museum experience is shaped by seeing operational vintage machines that are regularly serviced and maintained.
The aircraft are not simply displayed but are actively maintained and repaired, with visitors able to watch this work happen in real time. This gives the visit an unusual quality where vintage machines are treated as functioning objects rather than static exhibition pieces.
