EVERETT, Wash. — Paul Allen’s collection of 15 World War II war planes is going on display in a new museum at Paine Field in Everett.

The Flying Heritage Museum has a grand opening Friday in a former hangar after moving from a small warehouse near the Arlington Airport.

Allen not only collected U.S., UK, Nazi, Soviet and Japanese warplanes from the 1935-1945 era but paid to have them restored to flyable condition.

The museum has four mechanics to keep the planes in the air.
