About
Heritage Flight Museum is dedicated to the preservation and flying of historic military aircraft, to honoring Veterans, and to keeping history alive!
Mission
Company Overview
The Heritage Flight Museum (HFM) has been established by the Anders family to help educate the public so that they might understand and appreciate the contribution military aircraft, and the people that flew them, have made to our heritage, national security and freedom.
The primary focus of the HFM will be on US Army Air Corps and US Air Force vintage “Warbirds”: fighters, trainers, and liaison aircraft. Additionally, once a permanent facility is established, the HFM will add displays highlighting elements of the US Space Program, mainly the Apollo program.
In order to obtain the greatest exposure of the aircraft, the HFM will primarily display aircraft through flying and static display at their hangars in Bellingham, WA. Additionally, aircraft may be displayed at air shows and other remote locations.
Besides aircraft displays, HFM plans to display aviation restoration projects, models, and memorabilia. Space flight memorabilia, historical presentations, and educational material will be displayed as well. Additionally, once a more permanent facility is found, the museum plans to develop aviation education and youth education programs.

General Information
HFM also has a first-of-its-kind interactive flight simulator which uses Microsoft Flight Sim 9 to showcase the HFM aircraft in the historical context of Bellingham Army Air Field. Users can experience 'virtual flight' - alone or in formation - and see how hard it is to actually fly these birds!
