[6] In January 2007, Classic Aircraft Aviation Museum purchased a MiG 21 from a Chevrolet dealership in Federal Way, Washington.
[7] The fighter had been displayed on the car dealer's sales lot, but the museum planned to restore the plane to flight worthy status.
[1] The museum's C-47A had previously been in the Royal Canadian Air Force and was later used as a freight hauler before a Roseburg, Oregon, collector acquired the still flyable aircraft.
The hanger where the Hillsboro Museum is located in was once home to Premier Jets, which was owned by Roger Kelsay.
[6] The goal for all of the planes is that they once again are air worthy, and to that end, volunteers spend thousands of hours restoring the aircraft.
