What was originally intended to be a short sight-seeing stop in Ramona ended up being a 2+ hour visit to the Classic Rotors Museum, which I found on Google search. The museum is a hidden gem located right alongside Ramonas airport with an abundance of history and incredible machines. Our docent showed us around with incredible enthusiasm and a wealth of fascinating information. This museum has some of the rarest, oddest, most iconic, and all-around fascinating collection of helicopters. Personally, every second at this place fascinated me. Make plans to stay a few hours and take in all the incredible history and detail! I will certainly be back for another visit - Im already recommending this to friends and family as a must-see destination!
Definitely worth the drive out to Romona if youre into aviation
Outstanding collection with airframes youd see nowhere else. Amazing volunteers. Cute puppy.
Great collection of rotorcraft and run by extremely enthusiastic people. Great history lesson and some novel engineering gems. Please support these guys in preserving the US and world rotors legacy.
Staff, Howard, very knowledgable and enthusiastic. They have an exciting collection of drones spanning many decades!
Had such an amazing time here. I was blown away by the helicopters and their history. The way the place is laid out is really cool. You learn something new about every helicopter.
Fascinating place. A room full of genius.
The best aviation & helicopter museum in the world.....!!!
If you have the slightest interest in aviation, you need to check this place out. They have an amazing collection of all sorts of VTOL aircraft.
Excellent Museum
Very nice collection of vintage helicopters
