Reviews
"Lots to see here. Lots of documentation of the varied exhibits. Nice recognition of some historically unrecognized groups - red tail squadron and WASPs."
"Cute place off the beaten path hidden in a neighborhood. Admission is free, but donations are welcome as that is what keeps the museum open. The gentleman who first greeted us was very funny, helpful, and informative. I could see and hear another man getting a thorough tour and explanation. All aircraft with the exception of one has flown and could fly again. Very cool. This is the first air museum I have been in where I have seen oil trays with sentiments coming out of the aircraft. It makes it quite real feeling. If you’re in the area, I would recommend a stop here."
"My 4 1/2 year old grandson loves anything mechanical, so I knew he would love this place. A whole hangar of planes, replica planes, vintage equipment, photos, pilot uniforms, etc. Many of the planes you are allowed to get inside. He loved sitting in the fighter plane replica with the top closed, so he could get the real experience! He looked around the cockpit, grabbed the stick, and said "this is GOOD!" The volunteer on duty was very knowledgeable and pleasant and answered all our questions. The museum is free to visit with donations, which we were happy to give. An interesting and fun place for kids and adults."
"Always enjoy coming here. Some of the animals were not there so disappointed but overall it is always a good trip. Bears needed water."
