Our friendly guide made this an awesome experience he was very kind and knowledgeable about all the planes and artifacts you can tell he has a real passion for it. Me and my boyfriend want to come back with our family. Make sure to leave a donation on your way out.

This place is quite interesting. We basically got a private tour of the hangar by a volunteer guide, which held numerous working 1940s-1950s era military planes. The guide described some of the basic workings of the planes, facts about the training process for pilots, and some less-covered aspects of World War II as pertinent to the planes (with a focus on the Pacific theater). During the tour, we were allowed to touch the planes, look inside the bomb section, and overall get a sense of the aviation technology from that era. and it's my understanding that, were it not for the coronavirus, we'd also have been able to step into the cockpit. From both and engineering and history perspective, it's a very rewarding experience. I'd recommend this to anyone who had interest in aviation technology or US history. On a final note, the guides themselves are an essential feature of the facility. Their enthusiasm, knowledgeability, and commitment to the subject matter is quite admirable, and gives the attractions a life that walking through a traditional guided or unguided tour will not. It is unfortunate that this is not a more popular attraction to the area.

Visited on our stay cation. Had the privilege to meet Buzz as our tour guide. Knowledgeable because he's lived the military life. Thankful to the veterans like Buzz who secured our freedom.

Such an incredible experience. The staff is so educational and informative. So much history and the museum part of the hanger has so many artifacts. Lots to look at!
