Unlike other air museums, Yanks has one of the largest, most comprehensive private aircraft collections in the world. We have been around for decades; acquiring, restoring, and preserving American aircraft. Also, unlike other air museums, our intentions are always to restore to flight-worthy status using period materials. This means that some of our aircraft have been in the restoration process for over a decade while our staff diligently work to identify and acquire the correct materials and parts that were installed in the original factory process. We also boast a pretty robust and high functioning boneyard/restoration hangar that is open to the public. We also have a resident cat that oversees all projects and manages the museum.

Yes! It’s true, Yanks is proud to say that we are owned by a resident “house” cat named Connie. She is named after the largest airplane at Yanks: the Lockheed EC-121T Super Constellation. She oversees everything at Yanks; from managing the museum and Restoration Hangar to making sure the visitors feel welcomed and invited. Connie also does a stellar job at eating snacks and collecting as much love as she can.
