Heritage Flight Museum

Our History: Heritage Flight Museum was founded in 1996 by William and Valerie Anders in Bellingham, Washington. The Museum’s vintage aircraft collection began with the P-51 Mustang “Val-Halla” and has steadily grown. In 2014, HFM moved to its new home at Skagit Regional Airport in Burlington, Washington. The museum currently houses 15 aircraft, several antique military vehicles, a library and many artifacts donated by veterans. Recent facilities upgrades have helped pave the way for new acquisitions and additional exhibits. Two of William Anders’ sons joined him in the Puget Sound area to help run the museum. The photograph used in the Museum’s logo depicts Anders in the P-51 and son Greg in the F-15, taken during a photo sortie at the first Gathering of Mustangs and Legends. The NASA Connection: One of three astronauts to participate in the first manned flight around the moon, William Anders was a crew member on the historic Apollo 8 mission. The USAF Connection: Both William Anders and HFM Executive Director Greg Anders had long and distinguished careers in the US Air Force, spanning from the start of the Cold War through more recent conflicts. It is their strong connection to the Air Force that guides the Museum’s focus. At Our Core: At the heart of the museum is the large support that comes from our volunteers. The wealth of knowledge our volunteers provide to those who visit the Heritage Flight Museum is truly amazing!
