We’re proud to showcase the Commemorative Air Force Museum at Dallas Executive Airport—a 48,000 sq. ft. facility dedicated to preserving aviation history and inspiring future generations. Collaborating with KH Architects Commercial Design, we supplied innovative metal components that brought this vision to life, combining functionality, durability, and an eye-catching design.
To achieve the museum’s striking radiused aesthetic, we provided segmented frames—a cost-effective solution that eliminated the need for curved members. The building also features MBCI roof panels on the curved areas, AllianceSeam-24 panels on the non-curved sections, LT 3.3 wall panels, ABT-32 wall panels, PBR liner panels, and A-12 soffit panels. Together, these components support a structure that’s as robust as the history it houses.
Inside, the museum celebrates aviation’s rich legacy with historic WWII aircraft, including some of the most iconic planes ever flown, and the world’s largest collection of Nose Art. It also offers hands-on STEM learning opportunities, making it a hub for education and inspiration.
This space isn’t just a building; it’s a bridge between the past and future of flight, honoring those who paved the way while inspiring the next generation.
The Burchfield Hangars at Dallas Executive Airport showcase the seamless integration of functionality, aesthetic appeal, and cost-efficiency. This design-build project, undertaken in collaboration with KH Architects, resulted in a unique and economical solution tailored to the needs of the client and the demands of the location.
The hangars feature the AllianceSeam 24 standing seam roof panels, which provide exceptional durability and weather resistance, ensuring long-term performance in demanding conditions. The LT 3.3 wall panels and MBCI’s Masterline-16 wall panels combine to deliver a balance of strength, versatility, and modern design, enhancing the overall structural and visual appeal. Additionally, the A-12 soffit panels add a refined, seamless finish, highlighting attention to detail in every aspect of the project.
Part of the broader redevelopment at Dallas Executive Airport, the Burchfield Hangars play a pivotal role in supporting the airport’s modernization goals. With a focus on innovative design and cost-effective solutions, this project exemplifies Alliance’s commitment to delivering excellence in the steel building industry.
The owners of this executive airport in Houston had a certain look in mind when designing their airport project. Alliance designed the radiused rafters to meet this desired look, and 11 hangars later, the Henriksen Jet Center has a certain Alliance feel.
