I'm sure that the social justice leftist Warriors on Rally Point will say that Apple co-founder Paul Allen was a racist and a Nazi just because he collected and restored all kinds of rare and almost unique German aircraft and armor.
It was my luck that in July,2020 when I went to my Army reserve unit in Washington state, I couldn't go to this Air Museum that was only 20 minutes away because the draconian lockdown from the golf delta covid-19 pandemic shut down all museums in the area. This museum also has a large tank and armored vehicle Museum. Most of what you see displayed actually runs. So that means the tanks work, the planes work and many of the planes are in flying condition fully restored. This Museum, located next to the Everett Washington Airport, was started by former Apple executive who passed away a few years ago.
During my 3-week stay, I couldn't go to the museum but one of my soldiers was the chief of police of the local navy base nearby and I was able to go see the USS Momsen. The USS Momsen is an Arleigh -Burke class Destroyer. I went in uniform with a few other officers. They announced my name over the intercom and I had the request permission to come aboard and I had to salute the flag at the back of the ship.
I retired from the Army Reserve and I no longer go to Washington state. This Museum in Everett will be on my bucket to do list. My wife likes the area so we will both probably go back there eventually.

We have a great War museum in Hudson, Massachusetts, the American Heritage Museum where for instance they did a full scale battle reenactment in October 2022 which in this picture I took American and British troops are advancing on German armor and infantry. There are also both flying German and US aircraft flying in the reenactment. his was over an entire weekend, sat and Sunday a full scale battle both at 11AM and 3 PMM each day. This battle of the airfield was a reenactment of an actual battle during WWII in Europe. This battle was held outside on the museum grounds. The museum itself had aircraft, armored vehicles, landing craft, just about everything from WWII, Korea, Vietnam and even into Persian gulf wars. The Collings Foundation runs this and also at nearby Stow Airport has many aircraft from WWII, Korea, and even Vietnam including a F4 Phantom Fighter. There are both German and American aircraft including fighters and bombers from WWII in flying condition. ALL in flying condition and used in airshows and battle reenactments. The battle reenactment between the Germans and Americans is done very year always with armed vehicles, aircraft, troops truck everything Back in September 2022 they even on another section of the large property had a full scale reenactment of the Battle of Bunker Hill from back during the American Revolutionary war. Earlier in September or Aerican Legion Post 208, millis, MA had even taken a tour of the Museum. WWII and Korean War Vets are admitted free and all other vets at reduced admission charge.

An American spotter plane, the original that was used in the actual battle and on which the pilot had actually mounted bazookas under the wing and took out six German armored vehicles in the actual WWII Battle for the airfield. This was the actual aircar used then and reenacted the lauch and taking out a German armored Vehicle during the battle for the airfield reenactment. .Their was both the sound and flash from the bazooka launch and a huge simulated explosion from the armored vehicle that was hit.
