Great value, this coming from someone who has no aircraft or mechanical knowledge... My guide was informative about all the historic planes. I was surprised at how many were on display and how well they have been restored and maintained. It was great to be able to get up close and into some of them. You need a half day to appreciate all the planes, displays, and have a coffee before or after the tour.…

Leave 90 minutes for a fantastic and informative tour. I thought the cost of $25 for the tour was amazingly good value. Peter our guide, a retired pilot was so interesting and informative.

Went here on a Friday and was greeted by one of the volunteers on arrival. He took me and one other guest on a tour of the 3 working hangers. We got to see inside the Constellation, 747 and P3 Orion. The guide was very interesting and knowledgeable. Allow 1 to 2 hours for the tour. As it’s a working hanger, you never know what you’ll see. Whilst we were there they backed the Constellation out of the hangar in preparation for an engine test- just brilliant. I can’t recommend more highly- a must do if you’re in the area …
