The collection of rare military aircraft, acquired and restored to flying condition by investor and philanthropist Paul G. Allen, will open its doors at noon on June 6, the 64th anniversary of D-Day, at Paine Field in Everett, Wash. FHC showcases the spectacular warbirds and revolutionary technological innovations that developed leading up to and during World War II. Set amidst a restored working hangar, visitors of all ages will marvel at these treasures of the sky and learn how advances of the past led the way to modern aviation and aerospace technologies. If you had the chance to visit us in our previous Arlington location, expect to find some new, expanded exhibit materials, such as murals and film/video kiosks, in addition to information-packed reader boards. Tours are self-guided so you can explore at your own pace, but there will be plenty of knowledgeable volunteers on hand too.Tickets can be purchased in advance here or by phone (877) FHC-3404. Tickets will also be available for purchase at FHC beginning June 6 at 12 noon. It’s not just the new FHC facility that will be making its debut and No.8211; we will also unveil a few new acquisitions including:Mitsubishi A6M3-22 Zero Sen - The naval Mitsubishi A6M Zero was rightfully feared by the Allies at the start of the war. With its tight turning radius and tremendous speed, the Zero was able to outmaneuver and outrun any Allied fighter, seeing action in every naval engagement in the Pacific. More InfoMesserschmitt 163B Komet - The rocket-propelled Komet was designed to destroy high-altitude bombers, soaring up through bomber formations and then diving back through them, firing its cannons at each pass. More InfoFocke-Wulf Fw 190D-13 Dora - In 1937, Germany’s Reich Air Ministry sought designs for a new fighter to replace its first generation of monoplane interceptors. The result was the Fw 190, which immediately proved to be superior to the British Spitfire.More Info The collection’s Republic P-47D Thunderbolt has been given its first restoration paint job.
