The Pacific Coast Air Museum is an aviation museum located at Charles M. Schulz–Sonoma County Airport in Santa Rosa, California. The museum displays a varied collection of over 30 American military, propeller, and jet aircraft.

History

The museum was founded in 1989, having emerged from a group associated with EAA Chapter 124.[2][3] Late the following year, three members of the museum were killed when a PV-2D they were flying crashed into Clear Lake.[4] Nevertheless, the museum expanded, acquiring a number of aircraft in the 1990s including an Il-14 and an F-8 in 1993, an A-6E in 1994, an F-16N and F-14 in 1995 and a UH-1H in 1996.[5][6][7][8][9]

The museum merged in 1999 with the Redwood Empire Aviation Historical Society, a smaller organization.[3] In late 2001, the museum, which had rented a variety of hangars and tie-down spots for its collection of aircraft, at the Sonoma County airport, began the process of moving to a larger facility.[10]

In December 2010, the museum acquired an F-15 Eagle which, after launching from Otis Air National Guard Base in Massachusetts, was one of the first fighter aircraft over New York City during the September 11 attacks. The museum planned to fully restore the plane and make it the centerpiece of an exhibit.[11]

The museum intends to build and move to a new larger facility, still at the airport. One possibility is a location on Airport Boulevard at the main entrance to the county airport, a five-acre garden tilled by inmates at Sonoma County's low-security jail.[12]

Facility

It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World airplane hangar - movie memorabilia

The museum building is the former dope and fabric shop for Santa Rosa Army Airfield.[13]

Next to the museum, immediately to the north, is the airplane hangar used in the 1963 Hollywood all-star comedy movie, It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World. In the movie, stunt pilot Frank Tallman flies a Beech 18 through the airplane hangar, with only 23 feet of clearance from wingtip to wingtip, and only 15 feet from the top of the tail to the hangar ceiling. Known as the Butler Building, the hangar was built during World War II, and is still in use today.[14][failed verification]

Exhibits

A model room includes dioramas of Santa Rosa Army Airfield and Santa Rosa Naval Auxiliary Air Station and a model of the USS Intrepid.[15] Other objects include an R-4360 engine, SR-71 parts, an F-4N simulator and DC-6 and RF-8G cockpits.[16][17][18][19][20]

Events

Beginning in 1989, the museum held an annual 2-day weekend open house.[66] By 2000, the event had become an airshow known as Wings Over Wine Country.[67] It continued until 2020, when it was cancelled due to the inabiloty to attract a demonstration team.[68][69]

It currently holds a Wings and Wheels Car Show.[70]

Programs

The museum offers an aviation summer school, a merit badge in aviation program for Boy Scouts and an oral history program.[71][72][73]

A division of the museum called Flight Wing maintains a some of the aircraft in airworthy condition.[74]
