We want you to experience the roar of our F8 °F «Wampus Cat» taking off. Watch engineers at work restoring the aircraft to flying condition. Share the rush of viewing international treasures from all angles and experience history in motion.

History

Established in 2010.

The history of aviation in motion — our vision is to give everyone rare aircraft that are fully restored to flying condition. And we want all to understand how aviation has played a key role in shaping history itself, and how it will continue to shape our future. But it’s the personal details that makes history come to life. Every aircraft in our collection has a unique «backstory.» Some are packed with drama, some simply offer prime examples of the roles aviation played during 1927 – 1957. Sited at the southwest corner of Paine Field, Kilo-​7 offers a journey into the energy, hard work, and passion that fueled aviation from 1927 through 1957. Like the aircraft in our collection, the hangars at Kilo-​7 are designed to reflect beauty, durability, and honestly expressed materials. Historic Flight Foundation has demonstrated vintage aircraft in over 30 shows and served as a «go to» resource for aircraft restoration and aviation education.
