Claims to Fame
Museum of Flight and Aerial Firefighting was created to preserve a portion of history which other aviation museums do not: Aerial Firefighting. The museum is dedicated to education related to the types of aircraft and retardant systems that have evolved over the years into the awesome aerial firefighting capabilities used today. Many types of aircraft and many different designs for fire retardant drop ssystems have been utilized to combat forest fires since the late 1920s. We hope to eventually display a wide representation of the aircraft and equipment used in aerial firefighting. The museum also has an interest in preserving and displaying other historical aircraft (in flyable condition) to include flight demonstrations.
The Red Gulch Dinosaur Tracksite is the largest tracksite in Wyoming and one of only a few worldwide from the Middle Jurassic Period (160 million to 180 million years old). Until the tracks were reported in 1997, most scientists thought the entire Bighorn Basin and most of Wyoming was covered by an ancient ocean called the Sundance Sea.
