  • 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?

        Jared Isaacman bought it, here is a link:

          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.
