Located on the grounds of the Military Aviation Museum is our specialized restoration, maintenance and repair facility, known as The Fighter Factory. Staffed by a dedicated team of professional mechanics who maintain the necessary wood, fabric and metalworking skills to care for vintage aircraft, the facility allows us to operate our collection for the enjoyment and education of the public.
In addition to respect for the aircraft as artifacts, The Fighter Factory is committed to safe operations, ensuring that the aircraft meet the standards for airworthiness that are established by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).
Although The Fighter Factory does have the capability to conduct multi-year restoration projects for the Museum, the limited space available, and need to maintain the flying collection means that restorations are often shipped to other shops for completion. Please be aware that not all active projects are on display at the Museum at any one time.
Please Note: The Fighter Factory is not currently available for public tours.
