Santa Maria Future Expansion

In 2023, Planes of Fame Air Museum embarked on an expansion project to the central coast region of California.

On a 23-acre site at the historic Santa Maria Airport in Santa Maria, California the Museum is building a multi-phase project that in the first phase, will include display hangars, maintenance and restoration facilities, and an events center.

We invite you to find out more about this exciting project and discover ways that you can provide support.
