More than 90 airplanes are on display in four buildings along with interesting exhibits about the Flying Tigers, a group of skilled fighter pilots hired by China to stop attacks from the invading Japanese; the challenge of delivering supplies to US bases in China which involved flying above 15,000’ over the Himalayan mountains on the Indian border; the role of paratroopers in the D-Day invasion; and the creation of the first black flying unit known as the Tuskegee Airmen. Allow three or four hours to see everything, more if you read all of the exhibit signage.
Everything indoors is accessible except for a few exhibits where it’s possible to climb into the seats of the aircraft or trainers. Most of the planes displayed outside can be seen from the road or paved path but some of the signs are in the grass and too far away to be easily read.
The parking lot is huge with a section for RVs and buses. Museum
