Flying Heritage & Combat Armor Museum, Aviation history museum in Everett, United States
The Flying Heritage & Combat Armor Museum displays military aircraft and armored vehicles from several countries, all kept in working order by a team of mechanics and engineers. The collection includes both airborne and ground machines, each maintained so it can still move or fly.
The collection was built to preserve military equipment from the Second World War, with each piece dating back to its original production era. Some vehicles were acquired from museums and private collections worldwide, then brought back to working condition.
Technicians restore vintage machines directly on the museum floor, letting visitors watch how engineers keep these old warplanes and tanks running. The collection brings together equipment from several nations, showing how different approaches shaped combat vehicle and aircraft design.
The museum sits north of Seattle in Everett and is easy to reach by car via the highway. Visitors should plan several hours to walk through the display halls and outdoor areas.
During events, restored aircraft engines roar to life, tanks roll across the outdoor area, and artillery pieces fire blank rounds. Visitors get a sense of how loud and powerful these machines were when in action.
