The Armed
Forces &. Aerospace Museum will be the home to a remarkable collection of
stories representing generations of Inland Northwest Americans. Over 7,000 items
from all branches of the armed services are archived in the collection of the
former Fairchild Heritage Museum, with more in the collections of the Sea
Services Museum and private individuals. With this building, each of these items
and the personal story it represents will be accessible to
everyone.

Architect's concept of the future museum site, from Craig C. Conrad
AIA,
A Place of Remarkable Stories
The
Inland Northwest's Future New Home To
A Building For the
Future
Occupying a
spectacular site at Spokane International Airport and anchored by a Vietnam era
B-52, the vaulted glass gallery of the first phase will shelter suspended
aircraft and interactive exhibits. Dining and event space will overlook the
gallery floor adjacent to research and restoration facilities. Historic aircraft
will land on the nearby runway, parking next to the museum along Interstate
90.
Preserving Stories of Courage and
Discovery
Your membership will build a place where personal stories will be
alive in interactive exhibits representing aviation and military science.
Relationships with area schools and students who visit to experience history
will continue to grow. Your support will insure that our children and their
families experience individual stories of honor and duty before they are lost
forever.
Preserving Examples of Aviation
Technology
Your
membership will build a center where unique aircraft representing the evolution
of aeronautic engineering will be experienced in an environment of changing
daylight. Rare technology will be presented in the context of individual lives
and important events. Your support will insure that those with the understanding
of the workings of historic aircraft can share their irreplaceable
knowledge.
Contributing to the Regional Economy
Your
membership will build a destination with an annual impact of $20 million to our
area as visitors are attracted to Spokane. Conference and event space will
generate revenue and attract a wider audience to the benefits of membership.
Your support will allow traveling Smithsonian exhibitions from the National Air
and Space museum to revitalize the permanent collection, increasing the
frequency of patron visits.
