Homefronts
The treasures of the Flying Heritage Collection are presented within the social, political, technological and economic context of their time, from an international perspective.
For each nation involved in world conflicts, designing and delivering a mighty air fleet wasn't all that was needed to fight the enemy. Sacrifices were also made by the general citizens, who had to ration or forego domestic goods – metal, cloth, gasoline, food – to equip their armies.
While the Flying Heritage Collection showcases the spectacular warbirds and technologies of 1935-45, its exhibits also shine a light on the humanity at the homefronts.

MAY 27
Tankfest Northwest
10:00 AM - 5:00 PM
Flying Heritage Collection salutes wartime heroes with parade, firing demonstrations, vintage tanks and activities; free admission for veterans.
TankFest Northwest is an all-day event that brings history alive for the community and honors the military innovations of the past, as meticulously restored WWII-era tanks and vintage artillery put on an explosive show for the crowd.
This year, three tanks from FHC – a new Sherman tank, a Soviet T-34 and Hetzer tank destroyer – will drive and fire, a rare Kettenkrad will zip about, and two vintage Flak guns will shoot during live demonstrations. The Puget Sound Military Vehicle Collectors Club will kick off the day with a festive parade, and private collectors will showcase a wide selection of rare wartime artifacts including tanks, a military motorbike, jeeps and trucks. Mobile Lunch Box will be at the event, serving up burgers and fries.
