Aviation Museum Layout Maps

[Noha307]

The National Museum of the United States Air Force now has an interactive map of the over 700 memorials in their Memorial Park. For those who prefer an old school approach, the 366th Fighter Association website has a scan of a static version.

The Intrepid Museum has also gone with the interactive map approach. However, you can still view the base maps, which are similar to the examples mentioned in a previous post, individually without the annotations:

• Flight Deck
• Gallery Deck
• Hangar Deck
• Pier 86
• Third Deck

There's also an "Artifact Plan" from a page on the Perkins & Will website that shows a proposed map.

The Kent Battle of Britain Museum has replaced the map mentioned in a previous post with an updated version on a page on their website with a few minor changes.

The China Aviation Museum was mentioned in a previous post, but there is apparently also an aerial view from a brochure that has been uploaded to a page on Ruud Leeuw's website.

A picture of a map of the Pima Air & Space Museum from October 2012 was a mentioned in a previous post. Apparently, the museum is fond of light blue paper, as a similar map from February 2008 is also available on a page on Ruud Leeuw's website.

Finally, the Sullenberger Aviation Museum included a drawing in a blog post showing not only how their A320 was moved into its new hangar, but also the overall layout of the site.

I had the opportunity to visit the Pioneer Air Museum in June and took this picture of a map of their storage locations:

While looking for information to aid in editing the area around the Omaka Aviation Heritage Centre on OpenStreetMap, I ended up looking at parcels on the Marlborough District Council website via their GIS map. This lead to a search result for property number PN537841 with "resource content application" that enclosed a copy of the museum's master plan with a number of very useful maps showing, among other things, the interior layout of the museum and their future plans:

Note that the Stage one northern extension to the WW1 display building hasn't happened. The WW2 Displays are in a third building (repeat of half of the WW1), with a little entrance shed on the North side. The Southern small hangars have been expanded East, but at the existing smaller size.

The National Air and Space Museum recently announced a 44,000 square foot expansion to the northern end of the Boeing Aviation Hangar of the Udvar-Hazy Center:

The 1940 Air Terminal Museum apparently had big plans to become the National Museum of Civil Aviation (not to be confused with the abortive National Museum of Commercial Aviation near Atlanta, Georgia). Among other things, their 2004 master plan called for an 113,437 square foot aircraft display building and a separate aircraft restoration facility to the west of the existing historic terminal building:

The now Oleg K. Antonov State Aviation Museum was mentioned in two previous posts (1, 2), but there were two other maps - one of which is interactive:
