Wings of Honor Museum


The Wings of Honor Museum is an aviation museum located at the Walnut Ridge Regional Airport in Walnut Ridge, Arkansas.

History

The museum originally opened as the Walnut Ridge Army Flying School Museum in 1999. It moved to a larger building in 2006. Two expansions were opened in 2013 and 2015. In 2018, it located a BT-13 that had been based at Walnut Ridge Army Airfield and began raising money to purchase it. Following an anonymous donation, the museum was able to acquire the aircraft and it was delivered to the museum in October 2022. By that time the museum also managed to acquire a second BT-13.
