The Historic Flight Foundation Museum on Felts Field in Spokane, Washington, captures the action of aviation from 1927 to 1957 with a collection of rare aircraft, many of which fly. When we dropped in, the museum's staff and docents were friendly and helpful, and the ability to step out on the museum's ramp to observe flight operations at Felts Field was easygoing and interesting. The museum flew its DC-3 that day, as you will see in this video.
The collection includes World War II fighters, trainers, and a scarce early D-model B-25 Mitchell, as well as civilian classics including the only flyable 1929 Hamilton Metalplane that conjures images of early mailplanes -- see our Airailimages Outro at the end of this video for another vintage view of a Metalplane.
The Historic Flight Foundation Museum complements the whole vintage feeling of Felts Field. Located next to the classic 1930s brick hangar and former headquarters of the Washington National Guard's 116th Observation Squadron, the new museum facility opened in December 2019.
The video tags several museum aircraft as they appear individually on camera; other non-museum airplanes including a Bonanza, a Stearman biplane, and a classic round-tail Cessna are seen coming and going from Felts Field on a sunny Sunday afternoon.
It is always a good idea to check with any museum before visiting to learn the current operating hours and accessibility.
