This is one of the unique Aviation and Military musuem when you visit Seatle area. Flying Heritage & Combat Armor Museum is located on the opposite side of Boeing’s Paine Field. Emcompassing this musuem is Military aircraft from World war 2, Cold war, to modern Jet fighters. There is also an assortment of Tanks and Armor Fighting vehicles of different era on display. All equipment are restored to its glory days.
This is the pictorial map of the Musuem when I visit in 2019.

Overall this is a fantastic Military musuem that houses very unique aircrafts and military hardware. Namely the very rare long nose FW-190D is fully restored in her original glory days. Getting to see a Japanese KI-43 OScar and a Zero A6M3 in the same roof is quite rare. Not to say all the military hardware. If you ever come to visit Seattle area dont miss this gem of a Musuem.
