Vintage Aero Flying Museum (VAFM), formally LaFayette Escadrille Flying Museum, is Colorado's international aviation museum at Platte Valley Airpark, 4 miles (6.4 km) northwest of Hudson, Colorado and 40 miles (64 km) northeast of Denver, Colorado.
[1] Andy Parks, son of the last World War I Lafayette Escadrille member who 'flew west', James Parks[a], maintains the legacy and history of the LaFayette Escadrille pilots.
The collection of each of these pilots' original uniforms and memorabilia is on display in custom cabinets in a secured hangar of World War I aircraft.
The Parks have created a museum in a rural setting, much like a French rural World War I air field.
VAFM is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization and its foundation was created by James Parks in 1984 as a historical and educational foundation.
