The Flight Test Museum Foundation is deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Doug Nelson, founder of the Air Force Flight Test Museum.
During his tenure as museum director, Doug not only collected many of the artifacts in the museum’s archives, established the first site and Blackbird Airpark, he conceived, designed and oversaw the construction of Century Circle at the Edwards Air Force Base West Gate including the acquisition of the YC-15 prototype on display there.
Former Museum Director, Fred Johnson, shared the following on our behalf.
The Foundation sends its most sincere condolences to Doug’s widow, Ilah. We will never forget him.
