Nestled handsomely and quietly at the Jefferson County International Airport, the Port Townsend Aero Museum invites curiosity from passers-by to and from the airport proper. Inside, there’s an amazing display of vintage restorations, and always an eager volunteer present to regale you with histories and stories. Not only that, an amazing mentoring program exists for teenagers, who can learn about flight—the mechanics, the skill, and the art of it all. They explore career options by volunteering their time once a week, and in exchange, they will ultimately have the opportunity to take flight training free of charge. With us for a tour is Michael Payne, the Museum’s Director, who also shares his own life journey among the clouds.
