  • Any one in the know?

    Just curious if anyone in the Northwest can confirm the hub-bub I read a week ago about Paul Allen's collection possibly being sold to Sam Walton's grandson in Arkansas? I have a lot of fond memories from my first time there seeing the flight displays many moons ago.

    Thanks in advance.

    This is correct, here is a video confirming:
    Sadly, Paul Allen's legendary collection was closed in early 2020 by Vulcan, Inc. and Paul's Sister, Jody Allen, and was sold to a single buyer in April 2022...

      There is a MIG-29 in a hanger @ the St. George airport being worked on & it was to have come from the Paul Allen collection? Any info on this?

          Thank you! Hopefully it will come to NW Arkansas. That will bring it closer to me again and I can take my Grandson to experience it all.
