I always enjoy visiting museums that keep all or most of their aircraft flying. This place is no exception as a lot of the aircraft are in flying conditions and very well looked after. The staff was great and helpful. You won't be disappointed here!

A visit to the Cavanaugh Flight Museum (4572 Claire Chennault St.) in Addison, TX, was very interesting. The "old warbirds" here are kept in flying condition and make appearances at special occasions. You can walk among the planes; perhaps some are being worked on; others in flight. Great experience for anyone interested in planes of the WWII era. We were part of a group from the Flying Tiger AVG Reunion, and the museum did a special fly-by for the guys; very inspiring and much appreciated seeing the P-40 airborn. They also brought some planes down to another museum we visited the following day.

Excellent aviation museum on the grounds of Addison Airport. Very nice collection of warbirds, most of which are in pristine condition! A number of the plane are flyable and flight experiences can be purchased. Great, helpful staff along with a nice gift shop. Absolutely worth a visit !!

Just a wonderful way to spend the day. Great collection of aircraft from different eras. So very worth the price of admission. You don't have to be a pilot or have a great deal of knowledge about flight to enjoy this trip.

for the aircraft aficionado. If you love aircraft or military history do yourself a big favor and stop by Addison TX and visit the Cavanaugh Flight Museum. My wife and I went and spent a few very enjoyable hours touring the facilities and static displays. My new background pic on my phone is now me in front of one of my favorite WW II aircraft...the Corsair, gull wing, whistling death, their model is actually the FG-1D but hey it's still a Corsair. The Spitfire is absolutely beautiful (another favorite of mine) as are a number of their restorations. They may well have some on-going projects in some of the hangers and if you don't get in the way you are welcome to watch the volunteers working on some genuine history! Really good stuff!!!

I didn't know about this place until our hotel staff suggested it. Look, it isn't the Air & Space annex in Reston, VA, the RAF museum near London, the Wright-Patterson USAF museum or the myriad other aviation museums I've visited but it's well worth a stop if you're an aviation buff or former military pilot from the Vietnam area. My only disappointment was that, of all the historic aircraft dating back from WWI, the only one in a disreputable state was the lone forlorn Huey. As a former helicopter gunship pilot, I felt it lacked even the slightest prominence compared to every other aircraft on display. Hey, I've always thought of fixed wing pilots as those who couldn't learn to hover!

The service, location and overall venue made this a wonderful choice for an important fund-raiser for a deserving nonprofit organization. Highly recommend if you are looking for a special place to host and event.

Enjoyed visiting this museum with my husband, especially watching his delight at seeing several aircraft from his days in Vietnam. Also interesting that you can take a flight with an instructor on some of these war-time-era planes that are in working order. The gift shop is well-stocked--we bought several items, including a red t-shirt with 'remove before flight', like a pitot cover flag. Cute! There is also a nice area to sit, have a drink, and cool off from the 100+ outside temps! The lady at the reception desk was very helpful, informative, and nice.

We stumbled upon this museum when visiting my daughter in Carrollton in 2012. (Trip advisor will only let me go back as far as Feb. 2014, so that's why there is a discrepancy in dates.) It's located at the Addison Airport. My daughter's boyfriend told us about one of the old warbirds that would fly in and out of there. As we were waiting to meet up with my daughter we saw the sign for the museum, and decided to take a look. It is huge! We spent most of an afternoon exploring all of the buildings. If you are in the Dallas area, give this place a visit. If you are lucky Fifi might even be in her hanger.

Excellent flight museum the OV-1 Mohawk Association's visited during their 25th Reunion. They were all impressed that the Cavanaugh had a OV-1 Mohawk.
