Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Where is the Heritage Flight Museum?
A: The Heritage Flight Museum is located at the south end of the Bellingham International Airport. The physical address is 2000 W. Bakerview Road. Follow this link for a map.
Q: Will the Museum be open on Sunday to check out the aircraft?
A: Though you might notice an increase in warbird activity in the days leading up to the event, the Museum will only be open for viewing aircraft on Saturday, 8 September from 9am-4pm. This is a big event for us... so we'll be spending the other days either setting up or cleaning up!
Q: Can I bring my dog (or other pet) to the event?
A: This is one of those venue's where it's probably best to leave your beloved pets at home, or in a well-ventilated car. There will be a lot of activity going on here - between visitors, moving aircraft, other display vehicles - so for safety and comfort reasons we're asking everyone to please enjoy the open house with just their human friends and family! Service animals are the only exception.
Q: Will there be food and/or other vendors at the event?
A: For space and planning purposes we decided to use as much space as we could for aircraft and other display vehicles! So pack a lunch or a snack if you like... we'll have plenty of trash recepticles for what doesn't get eaten!
Q: Is this like other air shows that I've been to, with aerobatic acts and demonstration teams? Will there be aircraft rides available?
A: This event is just like our monthly museum open houses... just bigger and with more aircraft! There are no aerobatic acts or military demonstration teams who will be performing. There will, however, be lots of flying taking place during the day. Our pilots will be working with the tower controllers (and within all the FAA regulations) to perform as many fly-bys as will fit into the airport's busy commercial and general aviation traffic! At this time, there are no aircraft that will be giving rides.
