We attended a special event yesterday, listening to one of the key people who helped break the Enigma code. What a joy to be in the audience while Barbara Brown recalled how she came to work on the project at Blethley Hall. I was touched by how she could remember the condition of the coat worn by her superior after 70 years. She was a true inspiration and a gift. Not many of us can look forward to being sharp and quick witted at 97 but she proved that anything is possible. She was well worth driving 3 hours to see. The museum is fascinating and though we did not take the tour on this trip we will be back.

I highly recommend a visit to this aviation museum! They make it possible to see all the steps it takes for this museum to exist. From where & how they recover the planes, to restoring them & then the final results on display - it is so amazing the stories behind it all that they have brought to life for us to experience. Definitely a must to visit at least once!

Unlike most museums, we had a very informative guide explaining all the exhibits in detail, helping to relive the period. The static displays of actual functional planes ready to fire up and fly were incredible! Upclose views of the restoration projects currently in progress, allowing you to see the the incredible work involved all by volunteers! Planes such as P47, B25, P38, etc as well as a few support vehicles and a half- track. Too much to mention. We'll definitely be back to catch what we missed!!

My wife and I were on a 2-day road trip to see WWII aircraft since her father flew B17s and B24s. This museum had all that we were looking for and much more, including a restoration facility adjacent to the museum where we saw craftsmen and women restoring artifacts including an old Link flight simulator dating back to 1929. Our docent was excellent. He filled in lots of detail as we walked the tour and answered our many questions.

What a wonderful museum & experience! If you are into World War II studies and aviation, this is a great museum! Most museums of this caliber and subject are located far from Colorado, but this one is right here in our backyard! To have an adjacent restoration facility as part of the tour is simply awesome - these aircraft are being restored to flying status! Our tour-guide was very knowledgeable and personable. The museum is new and fresh and of very high professional quality. If you like World War II history and airplanes and enjoy seeing them brought back to life, you simply must come to this museum.

Gene at the National Museum of WWII Aviation in Colorado Springs is amazing. He knows everything about WWII aviation! And articulates it so clear and simple that you don't miss a thing. I actually felt like I was there on D-day. It's like a live documentary. Must see while in Colorado Springs!

If you are a history buff or just like airplanes, this is for you. Plan on a couple of hours. Reasonable admission charge with some discounts available.

This was a fantastic place to see. It was a history lesson I will always remember, explained in a way that made it easy to understand. It is a guided tour, which adds to the level of the experience. The displays are in depth, including not just the war itself, but what was happening at the home front, a more personal look. I would highly recommend this museum, and am thankful that it is here for us all to remember how very important our freedom is. Do allow 3 hours, the tour is 1 1/2 hrs and you will want to go back and look at the displays. You are on your feet a lot, so wear comfy shoes. You can save two dollars on the admission fee if you buy your ticket on line.

Our tour guide 'Gene' was exceptionally well versed in WWII history and related many stories and anecdotes of the war years. The museum exhibits are professional and the aircraft are in flying condition. If possible, join a tour of the aircraft restoration facility next door. Younger visitors will be especially impressed with the complexity and skilled workmanship required to bring an aircraft back to life and into the air.

We only recently heard about the museum, which opened two years ago, so we decided to visit today. And we are glad we did. Our visit lasted around 3 hours. The first hour we just looked around and the final two we were on a guided tour.This museum is first-class. The exhibits are extremely well-done and very thorough. The planes are spectacular. The museum has a neighbor that is a world renown WWII plane restorer who allows the tours to walk over to their space to view what they have going on.All of the volunteers/docents are friendly, knowledgeable and excited. They have many stories to share about the exhibits.Take the time and go! If you are a history buff or an aviation buff, you need to take the time to visit.
