History

The museum was formed as a 501(c) organization in 2006, by collector Terry Brandt and opened in 2007, in a 95,000-square-foot (8,800 m2) building.[1] The museum was started with 42 airplanes donated by Brandt and 20 automobiles.[1] As of September 2010, the museum totaled 75 airplanes and in excess of 100 automobiles.[1] About 55 of the airplanes were still able to fly at that time.[1] In 2009, a second hangar was added to display the collection, and a third was built in 2013. A fourth addition was added November 2016. The collection in 2024 now totals over 400 vehicles.[2]
