Great way to show your kids our history. Free admission but please leave your donations for this crew that donate their time to restore these.

This is the best air museum I have been to in a while. You can touch nearly everything here and everyone is super knowledgeable. While they dont have everything like Wright Patterson Air Force Base Museum does, they are trying to keep everything flying.

Nice little museum. One of the men came and gave us a tour, explaining everything they had there. We got to go into some planes and see the restoration work. The kids had fun.

Amazing place with tons of awesome history from WW2 to the present day including a dozen or so military planes, radios and equipment and helpful knowledgeable staff and they even have a Jeep from the Korean war era! Definitely worth a few visits! It is free, but you should definitely donate a little to help them keep history alive.

Very laid back atmosphere, when we showed up there was a gentleman who was a retired Air Force chaplain who ended up being our tour guide. My 5 and 3 year old enjoyed the fun tour and my five year old was very interested in all the old airplanes and the stories that went with them as well as the pictures and models in the museum. Lots of really cool old aviation stuff and forgotten artifacts, awesome place to spend an hour or two!

This is coming from someone whos favorite museum is the National Museum of the USAF near Dayton, OH. Our little family made a spontaneous trip up here on a Saturday morning. About 1h45m drive one way, and worth every minute!We were greeted by a volunteer, who gave us an informative tour, answered many questions, and showed us inside the C-123. His only request, in both the C-47 and C-123, was not to touch things in the cockpit, since they both still fly. These are the centerpieces and pride of the museum. The C-47 didnt make it to Germany in time for the invasion of Normandy, but helped supply Bastogne during the Battle of the Bulge and took place in Operation Varsity in March 1945. The C-123 Thunderpig may be the only of its kind that still flies, touring air shows nation wide, and most recently flown by Tom Cruise in American Made. Im not sure everyone will be granted such an excellent tour, but our experience was perfect.Aside from these main attractions, the hangar, and grounds were full of little treasures. The more time youre willing to spend here, the more youll appreciate the passion behind the museum, the little acquisitions, and many ongoing projects. And who doesnt like to walk right up to an F-15 and F-4? It aint Wright-Patterson, but Ill be back!

Nice place! Unexpected find for the area. Run by a friendly, knowledgeable chap who is happy to talk to you about the exhibits.Quite a lot of memorabilia on display in the office. Maps, aircraft parts, models etc.Impressive aircraft in the hangar and outside on the tarmac, quite a few surprises! About 10 or so aircraft in various condition and stages of refurbishment on display.Place is run on donations and makes the most of what they have.I enjoyed my visit and appreciate the passion of the people working/volunteering there.It aint the Smithsonian, but it is small town PA!

Wow - what a hidden gem. This place is what it is: it is a workshop & restoration hangar where knowledgeable people show off a surprisingly interesting collection. Ive meandered through the museum and was stunned with the access they allow which enables an experience unparalleled among air museums of this size.
