southern museum of flight印象
-
This museum is located close to the airport in a regular neighborhood. There are aircraft located outside and many more located inside. One section is dedicated to civilian aviation whereas the other section is all about military aviation. Inside, you'll find information about great aviators of the 20th century. There are both fixed wing and rotary aircraft. There's a hugh Hind helicopter, of the type that the Soviets used in Afghanistan. You will also find home built aircraft as well as gyrocopters. This is quite an extensive museum and the displays are really good.

I decided to visit this museum as I was looking for something to do. I was pleasantly surprised as it was very informational. I would recommend it to anybody who has an interest in aviation.

Nice small Museum if your a real flight person this is not a museum to travel to from any distance. It is a good local museum but not a must see if flight is what you live for. Make sure you drive the block to see the outside area there are number of planes parked outside worth seeing.

What a great hidden museum. Been flying over Birmingham for years but never knew of this place. As my dad and I flew back home from the Naval Air Museum in Pensacola we stopped at BHM. Atlantic East loaned us a car and the museum is only a couple blocks from them. It's in a shady looking area, but the museum itself is great. Would be good to take kids as well. Lots of experimental aircraft and some rare planes with lots of aviation artifacts and memorabilia. We are excited to make a planned trip back to spend more time there.

Took my 5 yo grandson. He loved the planes on exhibit and the flight trainers that he could sit in. Too young to understand the 'history' involved in the planes.

If you are an air buff, you will enjoy seeing the vintage planes and hearing the stories about them from war buffs.

I was in town for an auto race and wanted something to do outside of that. I like aviation, this popped up, so went. It is awesome! They have some truly early planes you don't usually see, but what captured my fancy where the engine displays. They have more engines, cutaway and whole, jet and piston, than any museum I've seen, including the Smithsonian, and you can get quite close and really the workings. This really appeals to my inner engineer, and I have to give kudos to those who put this together. My expectations in coming here were shattered upon entrance; this is an incredible collection, a true labor of love for aviation.

I was very surprised at the quality and quantity of great exhibits which were on display at the museum. It was well kept and was a great learning experience for my kids. - The only reason for me not giving it five was it's out of the way location. I found it hard to find and it wasn't close to anything else in Birmingham that you might be touring with a family. It is close to the airport.

Do you enjoy the Air and Space museum in Washington, DC? Then don't miss this museum. It's just as good, with even more to see and learn about. Put this stop on your list.

I have been to other flight museums, and this one is small compared to them, but, nonetheless, it was still worth the visit. This museum has planes from the early ages of aviation, WWII, and the Vietnam war (they even have a couple of soviet aircrafts), as well as some modern ones. There are quite a few air flight simulators present in the museum (computer game, not the professional ones) so you can practice your take-off and landing skills. As you wander through the museum, quite often mannequins start talking, or you hear the aircraft engines getting started, and those things freak you out the first time you experience them, but after a while they become quite amusing.If you are ever in this area, I highly recommend visiting this museum; it is definitely worth a visit.
