One of the best aerospace museums I have ever been to! It's nice because it's all covered and there is quite a selection to view. Also one of the best places to see an SR-71 Blackbird in the country. Defiantly go on the guided tour because the vets that run them have so much knowledge and can give you some inside stories you won't hear anywhere else!
As a member of SAC during my military years I found this is a very interesting locale. There are a large number of aircraft that were associated with SAC in the US Air Force military operations. There were also various videos and interactive displays detailing the history of SAC and major events in the history of the military unit. Anyone who served in the Air Force more than military at that time will find this more than interesting. It is well worth the price of admission.
This museum is well worth a visit. It was better than we expected. In addition to a top-notch B-17, there were a lot of unique and personally-interesting exhibits. Planes I've seen nowhere else included a huge B-36 and a tiny XF-85 fighter/escort designed to be released from a "parent" bomber (an unsuccessful experiment, ultimately).
Very interesting and the planes are massive! Very fun for the whole family. Things for everyone to do, from 2 yrs and up! Grandkids loved the learning and exploring center.
As a kid, my dad saw a wing tank fall off of a jet fighter in Corpus Christi, TX. When I saw the F-84 Thunderjet at the museum, I realized for the first time that it must have been the fighter my dad had spoken of so many years ago. That was cool.
The Robotics program was great for Boy Scouts. We brought Boy Scouts from Gardner, Kansas to this and had a great time. Fun and interactive program. Setting the historic aircraft was amazing. Thank you for offering this program to educate out Boy Scouts.
Our favorite part of the visit was a tour given by a volunteer who had piloted B-36s and B-52s. It's not every day, or every visit to a museum, that you get to hear first-hand stories that bring the planes to life. The way he remembered the men he had lost was very touching. I highly recommend taking the tour if you can.
