My husband is the WWII plane buff but I thoroughly enjoyed this museum myself. The collection is small, but very fine, with near mint condition rare WWII vintage (except for two) airplanes. Housed in two hangars, these are the planes history is made of. Because some of the planes are the last ones in existence, yes they are barricaded to... More

I got to visit this museum with a group of WWII vets as well as Rosie the Riveters and British civilians of the war years. Their stories were the icing on the cake--the cake being the wonderful exhibits themselves. The museum has expanded to 2 hangars so the previous complaints of not enough exhibits no longer applies. This is a... More

The Memorial Day events that the museum had planned was nothing but great, my family totally enjoyed it! The icing on the cake was the tank displays and them firing their guns, my kid had a blast! Highly recommend for all to visit.

Visited the museum for the first time today. Primary reason for going today was to see the tankfest including the firing of the tanks. Unfortunately the weather wasn't to accommodating. Some rain, but windy. We arrived about 11:30am and the tanks were scheduled for 1:00pm. Because of the weather we spent most of the 1 1/2 hours inside. The number... More

Best Warbird museum I have ever been to. Planes look like they just came of the assembly line and ready for war. Very nice theater with some great old footage and the B25 is the most impressive and original looking of all

We enjoyed this a lot. It was a bit expensive though considering the smaller number of displays. We got a AAA discount though.

We went here as a family with my 11 year old son and my parents. We had an excellent tour guide who was able to explain each exhibit in detail. The planes are beautifully restored and each one has a fascinating story. We were even able to go inside a couple of the planes. We learned a lot during this... More

Call ahead to get a time for the docents. Most of them know the planes very well and they will take you through the collection one by one. Check to see if Art Unrue (sp??) is working that day. He was waistgunner and has a lot to say about the performance characteristics of the german planes.

You don't need to be a pilot to enjoy the tour. Connect with a docent and listen to stories about each aircraft. Summer fly days include free air "fly bys" right over the top of you. Head over to Boeings "Future of Flight" at noon. Walk past the front desk and go up free to the Strato Deck and enjoy... More

While it's probably not great for kids, folks with an interest in airplanes will be enthralled. I've never seen such a collection of perfectly preserved and rare planes. Next to each plane (or tank or spaceship) you can find information about the type of plane and the role it played in history as well as the back story of the... More
