Super friendly and knowledgeable. Hooked up with one of the staff for a personal tour. he even unlocked a plane that wasn’t currently on display and walked me to each and every item while we talked.

The main entrance is a small indoor section with very nice restrooms and a small gift shop with actual decent prices. The staff is super friendly and our guide was Joe who made the trip awesome. There are a lot of planes outside so sunscreen is a good idea if you burn easy. I thought the hanger items were the most cool, highly recommend you include them in your visit.

Me and my family had a great time walking around with the volunteers they are very knowledgeable and answered all questions are asked to then. Remember you have to apply online to enter the airforce base to see the museum it's a good way of spending a couple of hours.

Very friendly staff!!! Very eager to offer information. Cool to look around, but far better are the stories offered by these volunteers. Make sure to request permission from either the website or a phone call 24 hours before your visit. Drive carefully throughout this base, the on-base police will be watching! Overall worth the trip. I will add pictures once I can grab them from the camera.
