Hundreds of aircraft, from a replica of the Wright brothers’ plane to a Gemini space capsule, are displayed in three huge hangers and a tall silo. The history of U.S. involvement in all major wars and the role of the U.S. Air Force along with stories of individual servicemen are told through displays and artifacts. Smaller exhibits explore the build up and aftermath of WWII in depth. A shady park with many memorials - some simple plaques, other elaborate sculptures - is located on the grounds. There’s also an outside air park with a few more planes and WWII era buildings. Allow a lot of time to see everything. It’s all free except for the 3D movies and flight simulator rides.
Everything is accessible except for the flight simulators and a few cockpits that visitors are allowed to sit in.
The parking lot is very large. RVs and buses should be parked at the far end. The sidewalks are in good condition but it’s a long way to the museum entrance. Museum

I always liked airplanes since when I was a child.
ReplyDeleteThis is a really good museum. That fact that it's all free is icing on the cake!
ReplyDeleteWe visited this museum several years ago and found it very interesting. Travel safe
ReplyDeleteHope everything is going good for both of you.
DeleteYep, there is another one that I have to put on our "must see" list. Thanks. --Dave
ReplyDeleteDefinitely a must see Dave. We have to go back because we really only saw one section of one building. The rest was a quick roll through just to get an idea of what all was on display.
DeleteIt is a very unique place to visit even if you are not "into" airplanes,we too enjoyed very much.
