Pasco Aviation Museum Expands Exhibition Space with Acquisition of Historic Navy Hangar

The Pasco Aviation Museum has acquired a historic navy hangar to expand its exhibition space. The acquisition was announced on August 11, 2026, marking a significant development for the museum’s physical footprint.

The hangar originally served the U.S. Navy, offering ample space to house larger aircraft and artifacts related to naval aviation. Its addition will allow the museum to display more of its collection and accommodate new exhibits.

The Pasco Aviation Museum, located in Pasco, Washington, has focused on preserving and presenting aviation history. This expansion supports its mission by providing a venue better suited for larger aircraft and interactive displays.

The navy hangar’s historic value also enhances the context of the museum’s exhibits, linking the displayed aircraft to their original military environment. The move is expected to increase visitor capacity and the range of exhibitions the museum can offer.
