Location Maps

[edit]

Note that although the maps can be difficult to read due to overlap, the coordinates given for the marks are accurate to within around 100 feet of the factory building. When a company has multiple plants, a qualifier has been added in parentheses to the end of the name to distinguish between locations. If multiple manufacturers have used the same location, they are listed in chronological order separated by forward slashes. The map only depicts complete airframe manufacturers and not locations that only make components such as engines. Some of the plants that formerly built entire airframes now only build components. In addition, a recent trend has been to build an airframe in one location and only complete the final "assembly" in another.

History

[edit]

Following the end of World War II, large numbers of surplus military aircraft were made available by the U.S. government for very low prices.^[b] Many of these aircraft were purchased for their commercial value and turned into water bombers, aerial sprayers, and executive transports. The low prices attracted less-than-legal operations as well, and a number of aircraft were involved in the smuggling of illegal drugs.^[407]

The first organizations began in the southwestern United States, where the large boneyards and many major aircraft manufacturers were located. Specific early centers of focus were the Tallmantz collection at the Orange County Airport and The Air Museum at the Ontario and later Chino Airports.^[408]^{[failed verification]}

Recoveries of wrecks from the South Pacific caused controversy, as concerns about removal of cultural heritage, profit seeking, and improper handling of human remains were raised.^[409]^[410]

Aviation Museum Article Rough Draft

[edit]

Note common facilities
- Library
- Restoration hangar/reserve collection
Aircraft simulators (rides)
Potentially separate article into sections according to aviation, space, and military subgroups
Indoor vs. outdoor
- "Many aerospace museums display some or all of their aircraft outdoors. Due to the deterioration weather causes on the airframes a common goal of museums is to build hangars to display the aircraft indoors."^[411]
Engraved brick memorial fundraisers
"Due to the size of their artifacts, aviation museums have a much greater need for space than many other museums."
Cockpits extending outside of buildings
- e.g. Museum of Aeronautics and Astronautics
Relocated control tower cab exhibits
- e.g. Air Force Flight Test Museum, Air Mobility Command Museum, Alaska Aviation Museum, McChord Air Museum
- Compare with restoration of tower building at Pearl Harbor Aviation Museum and reconstructions of World War II 8th Air Force control towers at various museums
Open cockpit days
Restoration programs
- Volunteers
- Aviation and powerplant certification requirement
Multiple locations
- e.g. National Air and Space Museum, Planes of Fame Air Museum, Yanks Air Museum
- Due to size of aircraft or collection?
Military museums moving to edge of base to allow public access
- e.g. Air Force Flight Test Museum^[412]
Visiting aircraft
- e.g. Lone Star Flight Museum^[413], Warhawk Air Museum
- These are similar to shared collections in that they are not owned by the museum, but differ in that they do not travel to another display location. They are also not owned by another museum, but an individual.
Co-located restoration shops
- e.g. Fagen Fighters WWII Museum/Fagen Fighters Restoration, Military Aviation Museum/Fighter Factory, Planes of Fame Air Museum/Fighter Rebuilders, National Museum of World War II Aviation/WestPac Restorations
- These are distinguished from other restoration shops at aviation museums in that they maintain a separate identity and often operate as independent organizations.
Shared collections
- e.g. Palm Springs Air Museum/Planes of Fame East Museum, Dakota Territory Air Museum/Texas Flying Legends Museum, Lone Star Flight Museum/Vietnam War Flight Museum
- These aircraft spend part of their time at one museum and part of their time at another. They are distinguished from cases of aviation museums with multiple locations in that they are owned by different organizations. Note that this only applies to flyable aircraft, as those on static display cannot be easily moved between locations.
"Wings and Wheels"
- e.g. Crawford Auto-Aviation Museum, Poplar Grove Vintage Wings and Wheels Museum, Warbirds and Wheels, Wanaka, Western Antique Aeroplane & Automobile Museum
Cutaway engines
F-104 gate guardians on poles, F-111 escape capsules, KC-97 cockpits
Memorial brick pavers
- e.g. National Naval Aviation Museum^[414], United States Army Aviation Museum^[415]
Challenge coins
- e.g. Air Mobility Command Museum^[416], Military Aviation Museum^[417]
Wrecked aircraft exhibit
- e.g. Sunken Treasures exhibit at the National Naval Aviation Museum^[418], Lockheed Hudson at the Omaka Aviation Heritage Centre^[419], A6M at the Pacific Aviation Museum^[420], Ghosts of the Tundra exhibit at the Wings Museum^[421]
- Often used to display aircraft too damaged or corroded to repair
- Often displayed in "as found" diorama
- Contrast with "collections of parts" found by aviation archaeologists, as wrecked aircraft exhibits are generally more intact and focus on a single airframe

History

[edit]

The first aviation museums were often collections of military equipment seized in the aftermath of a war. After the aircraft exhausted their purpose as sources of analysis, they were kept as engineering curiosities.^[c]

A large growth in aviation museums began after World War II, as large numbers of cheap surplus military aircraft entered the market. This allowed private individuals to found their own museums, whereas before aviation museums had largely been the domain of governments. However, governments did not completely ignore the subject and large national collections were created through the efforts of Hap Arnold in the United States and the Air Historical Branch in Britain. The former would form the nucleus of the National Air Museum and the latter the Royal Air Force Museum.^[423]^{[failed verification]}

With the start of the Space Age, many aviation museums expanded to cover space history as well – in the process becoming aerospace museums.

The 1990s: Base Closures

[edit]

As the Cold War began to wind down, the federal government realized that it could not maintain the huge number of military bases across the country. As a result, the Base Realignment and Closure commission was established to determine which bases were redundant or excess to military needs. Starting in 1988 and continuing through 1995, over 150 facilities were closed or merged.

The closure of such a large numbers of military bases led to a flood of small aviation museums and "base heritage centers" being established in the 1990s, as base communities formed groups to solidify their legacies.

It also resulted in a number of museums that were part of the Air Force Museum system going private, as the USAF does not maintain museums on non-military bases.

Chief Test Pilots by Company

[edit]

Note that some chief test pilots are titled "Chief Engineering Test Pilots", likely to distinguish them from chief production acceptance test pilots or chief test pilots of individual plants.

Note that some of the dates are not necessarily when the pilot started in his position, only when they were confirmed to have had the job.

Footnotes

[edit]

^ Stearman designations starting with the Model 70 should be understood as incorporating a hyphen between the last and second to last digit. e.g. “Model 7-0”

^ One of the most extreme examples occurred in 1946, when Tallmantz Aviation purchased 475 mostly bomber aircraft for just over $55,000.^[406]

^ This included a collection of aircraft assembled by the Engineering Division at McCook FieldinDayton, Ohio. This collection would eventually become the United States Air Force Museum.
