Mission
The military aviation museum honors the heroes who built, flew and maintained america's military aircraft. By sharing their stories through exhibitions and events, we promote an understanding of history, science, service and sacrifice that will inspire and educate visitors of all ages.
Programs
2 programs
One of the interactive ways the museum educates the public on the historic military aircraft is by hosting two air shows each year. The spring air show features an authentic, restored world war two aircraft flying and on static display. The fall air show features a replica world war one aircraft flying and on static display. Both events also include military re-enactors from the different periods in history, who interact with attendees and talk about what the pilots, ground crew, and other soldiers endured during the wars.
The museum also offers a monthly guest speaker series to the public, which is free with paid museum admission. Each month, different retired military personnel give a talk about his or her experiences with military aviation during world war two and immediately following. These presentations give visitors an opportunity to know the history more intimately by way of the personal stories told by pilots, navigators, gunners, ground crew and trainers. The museum typically follows the lecture with a flight demonstration of one of the museum's aircraft.
