In 1985, he began operating the Weeks Air Museum in Miami, a non-profit facility that housed much of his private aircraft collection and other antique aircraft owned by the museum. As his personal collection expanded, Weeks planned for development of a larger, more comprehensive facility in which to showcase and share his aircraft collection. In 1992, as development plans finalized for Fantasy of Flight, Hurricane Andrew struck the Miami area, virtually destroying the Weeks Air Museum facility and seriously damaging most of the vintage aircraft within it. F antasy of Flight allows the public to see part of the world's largest privately held vintage aircraft collection and share, via fascinating themed exhibits and displays, moments from aviation's storied past. For Kermit Weeks, the attraction's 1995 opening began another colorful chapter in a career devoted to furthering aviation.
Weeks resides in Polk City, Florida.
