Vintage Aero Flying Museum (VAFM), formally LaFayette1 Escadrille Flying Museum, is Colorado's international aviation museum at Platte Valley Airpark, 4 miles north-west of Hudson, Colorado and 40 miles north-east of Denver, Colorado.〔(Vinetage Aero Flying Museum ) Official site.〕 The Hudson Valley airfield is now closed and the aircraft and memorabilia displayed at Pueblo Wiesbrod Museum in Pueblo, CO. Andy Parks, son of the last World War I Lafayette Escadrille member who 'flew west', James Parks², maintains the legacy and history of the LaFayette Escadrille pilots. The collection of each of these pilots' original uniforms and memorabilia is on display in custom cabinets in a secured hangar of World War I aircraft. There is no other collection of this magnitude in the world today. The Parks have created a museum in a rural setting, much like a French rural World War I air field. VAFM is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization and its foundation was created by James Parks in 1984 as a historical and educational foundation. ==Flying aircraft on display== * 1917 Fokker Dr.I (replica) * 1918 Fokker D.VII * 1918 Fokker D.VIII * 1917 Sopwith Pup * 1917 SE5a * 1939 Vultee BT-13 Valiant * Mullicoupe by Younkin/Dake (Mulicoupe is a combination of a Monocoupe 90 and a MrMulligan) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Vintage Aero Flying Museum」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
