The people here are fantastic. Lots of interesting things to read and see. The tour guides are full of interesting stories and facts. Great History information for adults as well as the youth. We spent well over an hour there and enjoyed it all. Thank you!
The hours arent updated. They are CLOSED at the time of writing. Check their site (or the actual museum listing just a little to the south) for updated info!
Wow was I impressed by the management and service and the incredible staff of this museum! I thought this would be a quick walkthrough museum and that of one that’s small but I was very wrong! The experience I had here with my family was unforgettable and the tour that the veteran who guided us through was also very amazing. The aviation museum itself is in 3 separate hangars but the main area first accessible is more of the “museum”. It had exhibits of model aircraft throughout the World Wars, Korean War, and Vietnam War. They had displayed not only this but actual parts to the aircraft such as the B17 Underside Turret and incredible of displays of Women in War and the weapons of World War II with many more awaiting you. It tells about the experiences of well known figures in the Air Force and Army such as George H. W. Bush and Senator John Mc.Cain III’s Signatures to the site. The first hangar also includes a MIG-21 Cockpit that’s fully accessible and looks like it hasn’t been touched! The aircraft are almost all FAA approved for flight and are used for the air show held in August. Outside sits a C46 Commando and C47 Skytrain of which the C46 is accessible and has a interior that looks almost untouched and like the original! The other hangars include planes from a real A6M from WWII to a PBJ and its Army Counterpart the B-25 Mitchell. In all this was worth the experience and I suggest that if you love aviation you go to this wonderful museum. If I could I would rate this place 6/5 for “Best Aviation Museum in the Los Angeles area”!
Wonderful! B25, P51, DC3, etc. Absolutely deserves a visit if nearby. The museum is handles by retired persons who, some way or another, are connected to aviation and are devoted to make the visitor part of the museum and its history. Amazing place.
Great collection of vintage planes. Mostly ww2. If you get lucky people will be landing planes right outside the museum!
