FHC Museum Rumor (Rumour for those not in the "colonies")

Posted by bdk on Tue Oct 22, 2002 01:34:05 PM

While blundering around the Puget Sound area last week, I heard that Paul Allen is negotiating to purchase some property on Paine Field in Everett, WA to house his museum. I was told that he looked into property at Arlington, but that the runway was too short for some of the jets he wants to operate (century series), and that he couldn't reach agreement with the proper authorities in regards to extending the Arlington runway (even if he paid for it).

Needless to say, if my information is correct, Paul Allen may be displaying some of his vast collection publically in the next few years at least.

Any comments? Has anyone else heard this? Is this common knowledge that I have blundered upon?
