I'm a retired Air Force Chief Master Sergeant, so I may be a little biased when it comes to this museum. The museum has an outstanding display of static Air Force fighter and cargo aircraft and a good collection of Air Force memorabilia. They cover a lot of history inside the museum from World War II to the present. I... More

The airplanes outside the museum have everything from Korean fighters to transport planes to bombers! There are at least 25 planes outside including an old seaplane! Closed Sunday. More

This week I had an opportunity to visit and would highly recommend if you are someone who likes to read most of the displays, allow several hours and keep in mind it closes at 1600. It starts with the history of flight, so it presents some civilian counterparts to include aircraft models and so forth. Also, it is interesting to... More

There are some nicely restored aircraft in this museum, highlight for me were the F86 Sabre, the F100, the voodoo, and who can fail to be impressed by the mighty B52? Some of the planes are located in difficult to photograph layout (or they were when i was there). Being in the middle of an active airbase, we expected longer... More

Very well organized and a lot of great displays about the history of Travis Air Force Base with lots of static displays inside and out. If you are on base it is certainly worth a visit and it is free. If you have a Korean or Vietnam veteran in the family bring them as they have great displays from that... More

This museum has a large amount of old restored airplanes outside. It also has a number of old airplanes and static displays inside. Not many visitors, but definately worth the trip. More

This museum had more than I expected. There were about 30 airplanes to view outside, both large and small, including quite a few dating back to the 1950s. You could walk around them and take a close look, and small informational boards gave information about dimensions, the type of plane it was and when it was first flown and so... More
