There were full-sized reproductions of the Wright Flier and a early Curtis pusher. There were quite a few home-built planes made from kits. There were some trainers from the Tuskeegee airmen days, and a large Russian Hind military helicopter. For those intersted in engines, there were several on display. It takes an hour or two to see the exhibits, which... More

My girlfriend & I traipsed through (& around the planes outside) the Southern Museum of Flight during a Saturday day trip to Birmingham, and thoroughly enjoyed the museum! $7 for an entirely worthwhile flight museum visit. And, as a self-professed Cold War history geek, they've got a Soviet Mil Mi-24 Hind on display! Can view in 360 degrees as you... More

Your grandfather will love this place. Lots of very interesting planes and weaponry, and all authentic. I'd consider this one of the best tourist spots in town if you are into military history.

We LOVE aviation museums and this one was thoroughly enjoyable. Highlights for us included an original Delta Air Lines Huff-Daland crop duster and numerous Delta memorabilia including on-board dining menus, china, and promotional material from years past. They also have an Mi-24 Soviet Hind helicopter, and a B-25 fuselage recovered from Lake Murray SC. In fact, our sole purpose for... More

Went to a birthday party there a few years ago and enjoyed it very much. Later we took our grandchildren and they were crazy about it!

I have seen this museum as a child and to see it now with my children is a treat as it is much improved! You have to be at least somewhat interested in aviation, from past wars, kitplanes and experimental aircraft. It is a smaller museum, it took about an hour to get a good kid-type move through! There is... More

A must see for anyone interested in aviation history. A wonderful collection of civilian and military planes. The history of the Tuskegee Airman was worth every penny! I didn't like that we had to travel 2 blocks away to see the bulk of the military collection at the airport and they were fenced off with no real viewing opportunity unless... More

Went one day when a flight I was to meet at the airport was greatly delayed. Want to return again some day soon. May even donate some collectibles to the museum on a future visit,

Educational and fun. Wonderful for kids of all ages. A great way to spend an afternoon with friends or family.
