Many of those musea have planes just sittinmg there, tirted at the end of their career. But these would actually still fly! Witness the pans to catch oil dripping from the engines. And really friendly guides; hey, that counts. More

Spent a few hours here on our way to the Grand Canyon. The museum has some unique aircraft as well as some interesting aircraft parts stored outside. The staff working there were very knowledgable and enthusiastic . A worthwhile stop to enjoy some aviation history More

If you're a fan of airplanes, you'll love this museum. If you're a fan of WARBIRDS, you'll go BANANAS! An amazing collection of old planes. A must-see for aviation buffs! More

We stopped here while visiting the South Rim of the Grand Canyon. We have been to the other Planes of Fame in Chino Ca a few years ago so we stopped here to see some more planes. This is a smaller version then Chino but it still was well worth it. The kids enjoyed looking at the planes and we... More

My husband was interested but we were on our way to the canyon and we didn't actually see the museum. While we were up at the canyon... More

This museum is rather small; an hour or two would be adequate to see the displays and planes both inside and outside the hangar. General MacArthur's Constellation is there (additional small fee to tour) as well as other historic planes. It's located about halfway between Grand Canyon and Williams, AZ on the left side of the main road as you... More

Alot of planes. Even one made entirely of wood. It was conveniently located on the way back to Sedona from Grand Canyon. Seems like its a bit of a secret place bc I didn't see it anywhere in the travel books. More

My son comes here all the time and loves to see the airplanes. The only downfall is that there is a lady that works here who has yelled at my 3 1/2 year old son several times for no reason. More
