As part of the "Maximum Effort" capital campaign, the Airman’s Fate exhibit at the National Museum of the Mighty Eighth Air Force will be expanded with the inclusion of an original German boxcar of the type used to transport American prisoners of war during World War II:

The Air Force Heritage Park in Summerside, Prince Edward Island has an old site plan on their website:

The National Museum of World War II Aviation, which was mentioned in a previous post, had a groundbreaking on a 40,000 square foot expansion to the Kaija Raven Shook Aeronautical Pavilion on 13 August 2025:

The Musée de l’Air et de l’Espace, or French Air and Space Museum, has had a large collection of aircraft held in reserve on the west side of Paris-Le Bourget Airport. Just like its American equivalent, Silver Hill, it has suffered the same problem of inadequate storage, forcing the aircraft to be kept in drafty hangars or even parked outside. However, the museum has been working to address this and, as noted in their 2024 annual report, completed a new, climate controlled 3,000 square meter (~32,000 square foot) hangar at at the south end of the site:

This is not the first step in the process either. The museum had built another new 3,000 square meter storage facility in late 2020 on the northern side of the facility.[1]
