The Alaska Aviation Museum, previously the Alaska Aviation Heritage Museum, is located on Lake Hood Seaplane Base in Anchorage, Alaska. Its mission since 1988, is to preserve, display, and honor Alaska's aviation heritage, by preserving and displaying historic aircraft, artifacts, and memorabilia, and to foster public interest in aviation and its history. The museum has over thirty aircraft on display, a restoration hangar, flight simulators, two theaters, and a Hall of Fame. It provides an emphasis on historic aircraft, aviation artifacts, and memorabilia that contributed to the development and progress of aviation in Alaska, including Bush flying, and the World War II Army base on Adak Island.[1]

Overview

[edit]

The museum is made up of the Main, Rasmuson, South, and Restoration Hangars; as well as a shelter.[2] Also on display is the air traffic control tower cab used at Merrill Field from 1962 to 2002.[3][4]

History

[edit]

The Alaskan Historical Aircraft Society was founded in 1977 and the museum opened to the public in 1988.[5]

The museum restored its Grumman Goose to flight in May 2024.[6]
