most museums provide exhibits which show you what things looked like in the past but not this museum. Here the exhibits are real and they are in working condition just like they were when they were state of the art flying machines. Take the tour it is worth the time. The German hangar is amazing. Seeing the signature of a... More

Stuffed with WWI and WWII vintage planes (most in working order), including many from Germany, this museum was a very informative and interesting attraction - especially when one considers this was all done by private efforts.

They had a "Mosquito" plane my dad and husband were excited about, I just thought they had some beautiful buildings, w/ some cool WWI and II planes in them. Well worth the time and $$

Loved it. The volunteers are exceptional. Ask for Frank Roberts to take you around. He is a wonderful tour guide. Was fabulous. Can't say enough about it.

If you are into the Warbirds, you have to go...it's a bit off the beach, but worth it. ....beautifully restored planes, and they all are flyable.

This museum has a wonderful collection of WWI and WWII planes as well as other planes and vehicles. The staff is extremely knowledgeable and loves to talk about their airplanes and the history behind them. The staff works very hard to bring history alive. My husband and I visited on April 20, 2013 to hear Hans Meyer speak. Mr. Meyer... More

Very impressed with the collection, much larger than I expected. Seeing the Avro mosquito fire up its engines was a great. The volunteers were very helpful.

The museum is out in the country, so it's a nice little drive to get there & as soon as you see the museum down the road, you'll be pulling out your camera to take pictures. I'm not really into planes or anything, but there's so much cool stuff to look at everywhere you turn. It's fascinating. You just don't... More

An amazing private collection of WWI and WWII aircraft. Great volunteers with lots of information and answers. My husband and I spent 2 - 3 hours and will go back. Don't think you will be disappointed.
