Dedicated to Military Aircraft
As the name suggests, this museum is dedicated to military aircraft, with planes from around the world. On display are approximately 60 aircraft from WWI and WWII, and almost all of them are flight worthy. The goal of the museum is not only to display these aircraft but to restore them to working order. The planes are typically flown during airshows, but it's also possible to take a short ride in some of these aircraft for an additional fee.

Planes From All Over the World
Home to one of the largest collections of warbirds, Military Aviation Museum displays planes from all over the world, including some of the first-ever war planes. Many of them surround a U.S. Air Force hangar that's been converted into the attraction's main museum. Almost every plane has been restored for flying by the Fighter Factory and the Aviation Institute of Maintenance. Check the website for a schedule of air shows, which include planes from World War I and World War II. A reference library and exhibit of artifacts tell the stories of the planes on display outside.
