Wander behind the scenes at The Museum of Flight to see three strange and amazing World War II artifacts that aren’t on display in exhibits! Since only a fraction of our collection is on display in exhibits, there are millions of objects in our archives waiting for researchers to explore them.

Love these episodes!

Really great little program. Would like to see many more.

[@museumofflight]

Thank you! Is there any theme you'd like to see for a future episode? Curios from the space program? Curios of the 747? etc.

So interesting. I knew about the caterpillar club but not this stuffy! Oh, please, does the store have one?!! I recently took a member's tour of the archive. I studied that first drawing of the aircraft you're standing in at the beginning. It's impressive!

Yes, we have a lot of art in our collection - including that massive cut away. The caterpillar plush was a custom job that some staff commissioned, so there are none on the store.

Very interesting

It would be interesting to see a Curator on the Loose of a 262, or even the Spruce Goose

Do you all have any photos of Nike Ajax missiles at Cougar Mountain (site S-20)?
