If you have the world’s greatest passion for aviation history, you’re in luck. Fantasy of Flight is home to the world’s greatest collection of vintage aircraft. Historic, awe-inspiring time machines – flown every day. Ones that don’t collect museum dust, but collect fans and aviation enthusiasts from all points of the compass.
The fleet of vintage aircraft displayed at Fantasy of Flight has earned the admiration of knowledgeable aviators and inspired the imagination of those who have always dreamed of soaring above the clouds. The vintage aircraft, painstakingly acquired by lifelong aviation enthusiast and Fantasy of Flight founder Kermit Weeks, represent all eras of aviation from early flight to the 1950s.
Please note: The large original Fantasy of Flight Facility is now closed except for restoration and maintenance. This is where much of the collection is stored. What is open seasonally is the hangar across the runway, housing approximately 25 aircraft at any given time, and a gift shop. Aircraft are typically rotated seasonally.
