"Aviation history enthusiasts will love this museum! Such a beautiful restoration on the C53 and so many other historic pieces to see! Friendly, knowledgeable people ready to share Beach City Baby’s history and answer any questions. I can’t wait to go back!"
"I’ve visited many Aviation Museums around the US, and I can say that the folks at Vintage Wings have done something very special there in Franklin, Pa. This is a grass roots, but also fast-growing museum. The restoration quality that they achieved with their C-53 Skytrooper “Beach City Baby” is second to none, but the enthusiasm, creativity, and hard-work that the crew there are putting into their museum facility itself have created something just as magnificent on the ground. Super special and knowledgeable people here… A testament to hard-work, dedication, and patriotism. Friendly and fun people offering an education like no other."
"A very professional group that is very thorough with attention to detail on aircraft, vehicles, facilities, and events. This group also is very family-oriented and shows great passion and leadership in the WW2 living history community. I highly recommend visiting the hanger as well as Beach City Baby at events"
"A more genuine group of hard-working and knowledgeable people you will not find. This museum and its people are the real deal when it comes to preserving the stories and artifacts of the past, and educating younger generations about the sacrifices made by our men and women in uniform. A beautifully presented museum made possible by hard work and history. Truly a gem, more than worth going a bit out of your way for if you’re not in the area."
"Great organization run by great people. They were able to take an airplane sitting in a field in Ohio into this! Big hangar cool museum and shop attached to the hangar. Been here twice and can't wait to come back!"
