A development that was anticipated by many in the warbird community was firmly announced on Monday: the Everett Daily Herald reports that the Flying Heritage Collection will be moving from Arlington, WA to Everett, WA to be based at Paine Field.  Since its creation by Paul Allen, co-founder of Microsoft, the FHC has called Arlington its home.  For many years the often spoke about, but little known about and somewhat secretive collection used the small airport at Arlington to its advantage, being far enough away from the major museums and collections in the greater Seattle area.

With the move to Paine Field, the FHC will enjoy a more spacious facility with easier access to the Seattle area, no doubt increasing viewing attendance for the collection.  Additionally, the collection will join an already vibrant warbird community at the airport, as the Boeing Visitors Center, Museum of Flight Restoration Facility, and the Stormbirds ME-262 project already inhabit the airport.
