A lot of history and interesting artifacts in the museum. Our family, ranging in ages from 13-47 all enjoyed the visit. Something of interest for everyone to look at. The only disappointment was that a couple of the exhibits were not open for viewing - I would have given it a 5 if they would've been!
We both really liked the exhibit on the crash of Flight 232 in 1989 at the Sioux City airport. We both admired the never seen before 1947 Lincoln Continental, classy! I really liked the Flying Tigers display, that was portrayed by the art work and items donated by the soldier who lived it.
The museum exhibits are well done, but when I came by the captains seat from the failed United Flight 232, it really made me stop in my tracks. I also appreciated the Vietnam era helicopter. So many nice collections here unique to the Midwest.
There is a fee to get in, but worth your time to see civil and military aviation history. And a lot of it with local history.
This museum is a very cool and interesting place for people of all ages. Anyone who likes cool old cars to helicopters would love this place. The museum has a variety of planes and cars. You can even go into a real FedEx cargo plane! My favorite thing in the museum is the United 232 flight memorial in honor of the plane that crashed just outside the museum location.
I found that the museum is amazing in nature. It gave off so much history and was a well deserved place to visit. Anyone young or elderly would have no problem visiting the building and seeing the attractions.
It is hard to believe that an airplane could be large enough that eight of these engines would fit on the wings.
My family and I had a great time at the museum! There is so much history and culture within the building that is proven through the exhibits! We had a great time.
This is a fine collection of avaition history located in a hanger on the airport property. A great place for families to explore!
We visited this museum because we like old airplanes and old cars and because it received good reviews. I'm sorry to give it a poor review, but the exhibits were poorly marked and the self guided tour booklet provided very little information. There were many model airplanes on display which were well made, but mostly unmarked. I would recommend the air museum in Greenfield Iowa as a much more developed airplane history museum.The fedex plane outside the building is closed which was a disappointment as well as the one large 727 exhibit inside the museum. We also had some trouble finding the museum. They could do with more signage outside directing people from the highway, and LOTS more signage inside the museum to explain the displays.
