We know Easter is coming up soon and plans are bei We know Easter is coming up soon and plans are being made already, so don't forget that we have an egg hunt right here at our museum one week from today! 

You and the whole family can search for eggs, meet the Easter Bunny, and stop by Ark Coffee (@_arkcoffee) for some delicious drinks to fuel up before (and after) the hunt. What kind of plane do you think the bunny would deliver eggs in?

Tomorrow, from 10am-12pm, we are honored to welcom Tomorrow, from 10am-12pm, we are honored to welcome Vietnam Veterans for a special morning dedicated to gratitude, remembrance, and connection. You'll be able to find our Huey Helicopter as our featured aircraft on display for the event, as well as complimentary coffee, donuts, museum admission, and a guided tour, all free for Vietnam Veterans. 

We look forward to spending time together, listening to stories, sharing memories, and recognizing the lasting legacy of those who served.
Casey is back from vacation! He's got a lot in sto Casey is back from vacation! He's got a lot in store for you coming up, but we had to start with a new project that's been right under our noses for a long time. Can you believe we found this so close to home? Check out what a WACO UPF 7 looks like stripped down, as we work on getting it back in the air someday. Ever flown in a barnstormer plane before?
On March 25, 1955, Vought test pilot John W. Konra On March 25, 1955, Vought test pilot John W. Konrad took the prototype XF8U-1 Crusader (Bu. No. 138899) up from Edwards AFB, and made history on its very first flight. The Navy fighter went supersonic in level flight, the first U.S. jet to crack 1,000 mph without a dive, vaulting carrier aviation into the Mach 1 era.

From drawing board to sky in just 21 months, this swept-wing jet featured a revolutionary variable-incidence wing: hinged to tilt 7° upward for carrier launches and traps (dropping landing speeds below 105 knots) while keeping the fuselage level for improved visibility. A single Pratt & Whitney J57 turbojet lit the afterburner for Mach 1.5+ flights up to 42,000 feet, arming it with four 20 mm Colt cannons helping earn it the nickname "The Last of the Gunfighters". 

Over 1,260 built flew Navy and Marine Vietnam missions, French carrier ops, even NASA fly-by-wire tests. The prototype endures, restored at Seattle's Museum of Flight.
Two Grumman “cats,” separated by a generation, tel Two Grumman “cats,” separated by a generation, tell the story of how naval air combat evolved from raw speed to long-range, sensor-driven dominance.

The F11F-1 Tiger arrived at the dawn of the supersonic Navy. Born from the Panther and Cougar lineage but redesigned so thoroughly it earned a new designation, the Tiger paired a 35-degree swept wing with a coke-bottle fuselage to cut transonic drag and push carrier fighters into a new performance class. It was the Navy’s fastest carrier-borne fighter of its day, and it became one of the rarest Grumman cats, with only about 200 built. It later gained a second life in the public eye as a Blue Angels performer, dazzling crowds while the Navy’s tactics and technology advanced at a rapid pace.

The F-14A Tomcat shows where that evolution led. Designed at the height of the Cold War, the Tomcat was built to defend carriers from long-range Soviet bomber threats, and it did so with a weapons and radar combination that was unprecedented for its time. The AWG-9 radar and Phoenix missile gave the Navy the ability to detect, track, and engage targets at ranges that simply were not part of the Tiger era. Beginning in 1981, the Tomcat also expanded into the reconnaissance role with TARPS, turning an air-superiority fighter into a platform that could find targets as well as fight them. And of course, the F-14 became a cultural icon after its starring role in Top Gun, but its real legacy is how it defined fleet defense when the stakes were measured in hundreds of miles and seconds of warning time.

Put side by side, these two aircraft capture the Navy’s shift from the early supersonic era, where aerodynamic breakthroughs defined the cutting edge, to the Cold War world of intercept geometry, radar screens, and long-range missiles. 

Our F11F-1 Tiger was delivered in 1957 and stricken in July 1967. We acquired it in 2005, and today it is displayed in the markings of VF-21. Our F-14A Tomcat was delivered in 1973 and stricken in 1992. We acquired it in 2001; it now wears the markings of VF-2 “Bounty Hunters.”
