Western Antique Aeroplane & Automobile Museum

WAAAM is a transportation museum where antique aeroplanes share hangars with working automobiles and other vehicles. Its preserved airplanes are associated with an active flying community rather than treated solely as static antiques. Aircraft and collections: Golden Age aviation, airworthy vintage aircraft, WACO and Curtiss designs, automobiles. The museum reports that its displays are reopened and that many aircraft fly. The museum specifically identifies the 1917 Curtiss Jenny and Piper Cub and WACO families; restorations listed by the museum are not visitor-accessible exhibits. The entries below are selected source-attributed airframes and artifacts, not a promise that every item is accessible on the date of a visit. Collection holdings, restoration projects, replicas, partial airframes and public displays are distinguished where the institution provides sufficient evidence.
