You’ve been asking for it—and it's finally here! We are thrilled to invite Members to an exclusive, behind-the-scenes opportunity to experience a part of the Museum that has been closed to the public since 2020: The Museum of Flight's Restoration Center & Reserve Collection!

Join us on Friday, June 6th for an exclusive tour available just for Museum Members. Our expert restoration and preservation team will guide you through the fascinating world of aircraft restoration and showcase some of the exciting projects they are working on. This is your chance to hear firsthand from our dedicated team of two preservationists, who, with the help of an army of volunteers, make their tremendous and important work happening!
