This institution is totally dedicated to the preservation of the history of flight, be it commercial, military, or interplanetary. The museum opened in 1976 with just 75 aircraft and has now grown to more than 250 on display. Its newest addition is the Northrop F-5B "Freedom Fighter". Be prepared to spend the entire day if you, or someone in your party, is a flight buff. Exhibits rotate, and special events and conferences are scheduled regularly.

Eric Wood

Great for adults and children alike

(Rating: 5) by Eric Wood on October 10, 2008

One of the best air museums in the US for outdoor displays. Tucson's dry climate is perfect storing planes and they have quite a few rare and unusual ones. Be sure to take the bus tour of the airplane Boneyard- the GIANT military storage facility for airplanes. Very interesting!
