This museum is so well maintained and the gentlemen there are incredibly helpful and informative. The planes speak for themselves and are captivating and interesting for young and old. The flight simulator for children to enjoy is a wonderful addition to the museum and receiving their simulator certificate is a nice bonus. Don't overlook this museum. It is worth the charge,
This is the best one I have been in. The men & women that work there are all veterans of the war and can tell the story's about the pictures and other things that are in there. A must see!!!
This little museum contains a nice variety of interesting aviation information. There are several historic planes on display and knowledgable personnel to guide your visit. There is a modest fee for entry, but worth the visis for those interested in aviation. As a bonus, there is also a nice little restaurant with good food and friendly employees within the building.
Many unique items. About 3000+ ft packed with unique national & local memorabilia. Static display is not large but some rare planes are present. The Tapes for the guided tour are only bested by a guided tour ( If they are not busy).
This museum was great! Lots of historical artifacts, pictures, information and planes to see. Our guide was Norm who was a retired Air Force solider. He was an endless source of information and stories since he actually lived through most if the post WWII military conflicts. He knew the history and mechanical details of all of the planes and helicopters we viewed.This is a great place to visit if you're into history and aviation.
The HAMM or Historic Aviation Memorial Museum near Tyler is one of the bestAir plane museums in the country. It has artifacts from the earliest flights to the moon landing and even a moon rock. It also has actual planes that U can see on site. They also have a simulator to practice faking off, flying and landing a plane.This is a comprehensive museum with interactive exhibits. A must see if U R any where near Tyler.
A great little museum with a very good quantity and quality of exhibits, and growing. The docents are very knowledgeable and friendly.
I've been to several flight museums, in Texas, other states, and even the Smithsonian. Of course you can't compare this to the Smithsonian, but it is one of the best, and most extensive I've seen, not to mention most are in cities much larger than Tyler. Tyler is much the richer to have a museum such as this. From several actual aircraft, to uniforms, stories, and other memorabilia. You could spend several hours, or even a day, in it's corridors if you like history, and take time to read all the information. They often have fiy-in's of old aircraft also. Also take time to eat at the "Airline cafe" for good home food, and hamburgers.
This is well worth your time. Museum was wonderful with a very knowledgeable docent led guide. You will likely spend an hour to two hours here at the very least, if you read the articles and enjoy the outdoor aircraft. Please visit you will not be disappointed!
I'm only mildly interested in aviation but these guys have put together a varied collection of items, uniforms, models and many other historical material that it's a well spent 2 hours. Additionally, they have a number of retired planes on display outside. Docents will tell you all you want to know and are required to accompany you outside. They are very knowledgeable. If you go, do yourself a favor. Eat at the airport cafe too. They were excellent.
