Reviews
"Highly recommended - to include the high production videos onsite in the main theater and the small displays. Plan on 2 hours to see everything - bathrooms, water fountains, and a gift shop are on site but no free public WiFi."
"If you are on the highway on I 85 N/S take the exit and visit this great historical airport. It's only a few miles from the exit. Great airport and hungar with may videos and information."
"This museum had a wealth of material that educated me on the struggles and triumphs that the Tuskegee Airmen endured and overcame despite deliberate oppression and opposition from the leaders appointed over them. A success story against oppression. I highly encourage and recommend that everyone visit this outstanding museum. I was AMAZED and will visit again."
"We didn't view any of the videos in hangar 2 as we got there late, but it was a pretty small display in hangar 1, with only 2 planes. One thing to know, there's handicapped parking only near the entrance. Everyone else has to park up the hill and walk down to the hangars. It's farther than any other museum entrance I can recall from the parking lot. It's not like it's a hike, but it was more than anticipated for sure."
"We did an impromptu stop, and it was super worth it. It's amazing how these heroes were able to focus. I was in awe with all of their accomplishments they've achieved while enduring such hardships. Show some respect and educate yourself with the various journeys of their time. They fought for this country only to return home to fight for substandard treatment and Jim Crow laws. Redtails for life!!! I want to ride in that mustang!"
