The Wings of History Air Museum (aka California Antique Aircraft Museum) is a 501(c)(3) charitable organization (EIN 770232241). We are dedicated to promoting aviation history through education, preservation, restoration and flight.
The property was purchased in 1979 from Irv Perch (owner of the now closed Flying Lady Restaurant in Morgan Hill). Funds for the purchase were originally generated through the Watsonville Fly-in held annually from 1964-1998. The Museum was originally known as the California Antique Aircraft Museum. Development on the property started in 1980 when the Club House was moved from the old Morgan Hill Airport to the site. The Restoration Hangar was built in the early 1980s and followed by Hangars 1 and 2 from 1992-1994.
The Wings of History Air Museum was incorporated in 1988. The Museum sits on 2.5 acres and includes the Restoration Hangar (and Gift Shop), Prop Shop, Hangars #1 and #2, The Club House, a Library, a playground area for kids, as well as ample open space.
