Russell Regional Airport in Rome, Georgia where it reopened on 26 March 2016.[4][5] After signing a two-year lease for its existing hangar, the museum opened an outdoor display at the Paulding County Airport in Dallas, Georgia in 2020.[6] The following year, it announced fundraising had resumed for the construction of a 12,000 sq ft (1,100 m2) hangar at the airport.[7]
