PLANES OF FAME AIR MUSEUM PRESS RELEASE ⏐ February 9, 2023
The Planes of Fame Air Museum has announced that its Valle, Arizona (Planes of Fame Grand Canyon) facility is closed to the visiting public. The facility, which opened in 1995 and housed an assortment of aircraft and historical memorabilia, has been converted to a facility for “return to flight” restoration.
Artifacts, memorabilia, and other items have been transferred to the Chino headquarters location. Many of these items will be placed on public display at the Chino facility. Others will be held in storage and possibly put on display at the Museum’s new expansion facility being constructed at the Santa Maria Airport in Santa Maria, California when that facility opens.
