History
The museum was dedicated on 3 July 1982, at the time being housed in two trailers previously used as classrooms on the base.[4] In 1989 it received a P-63 restoration project from the New England Air Museum.[5] The museum closed for renovations in 1996 and reopened two and a half years later in a larger building.[6]
