Great museum with a good variety of aircraft. It's spread over several hangers and they have around 8 or more aircraft. I highly recommend taking the tour because you get a lot of good information and you get to access the WestPac hanger that has about 8 more aircraft you can't see at the museum.

Great local museum. Awesome tour of restoration facility. Very knowledgeable staff. Some very rare aircraft (P-47D, P-38F, F7F, F2F)...all are immaculately maintained and flyable. Plan 2 hours for the tour.

This museum was amazing. We went there on our vacation to see WW II aircraft. We did see beautiful aircraft however the best part was the history shared on the guided tour. My entire family, including the kids, were attentive and truly interested in the tour. The passion and knowledge of the entire staff was evident. This is a first class museum and I am greatfull for individuals who work so diligently at preserving the history of the men and women who sacrificed so much for our freedom. Go to this museum and donate to their cause.
