Fantasy of Flight - Collection

Collection

The Fantasy of Flight collection contains the following aircraft, although the aircraft are not always present at the museum. Some are on loan to other facilities, others may be flown to events, still others may be off display for maintenance or restoration. Most of the collection is on display in the main attraction complex hangars, with much of the balance housed in the maintenance hangar which is on the Behind The Scenes tram tour. New for 2012, is the "Golden Hill" storage facility located just across the road from Fantasy of Flight. A number of aircraft have been re-located into this new building, notably the B-23 Dragon and the B-29 nose, whilst the buildings have been re-arranged in order to allow visitor access.
