The
Inland Northwest's Future New Home to
Military and Aviation History
A Place Of
Remarkable Stories
Architect's concept of the future museum
site, from Craig C. Conrad AIA,
Madsen Mitchell Evenson & Conrad pllc
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.

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.
