The Pacific Coast Air Museum has a nice little collection of aircraft, but only a few have been restored, and most are looking a little dowdy. The interior has a very nice diorama depicting the airfield as it was in WWII, and some interesting memorabilia. The grounds are a little rough, but you can see that improvements are being made....

Therr are many airplanes here which have a great history. The docents know their stuff, and it shows. We went to see the U2 exhibit a few years ago and it was just great. The air show in August has some special planes and is highly recommended!!

If you are in the area, this is worth a visit. Many planes, but a focus on post war jet age. Very interesting F-15 presentation. It appears that this is run by a very dedicated group of volunteers, who are proud of what they do. They run an air show in August - that would be worth a visit. You... More

It's so interesting to see the different planes and they allow you to go into them. It's a nice area, staff are friendly. It's really a nice place to bring your children.

The personnel are friendly and share a lot of information. They are many fantastic planes. One that flew around the World Trade Center's in New York after the 2001 terriorist attack. It is well displayed and they are honored to have it among their planes in this museum.

The collection of aircraft at this museum is amazing. There are a few types missing that would make it more complete (F100, F104), but it was a surprise to find such a great variety in such a small place. My one complaint would be the amount of extraneous clutter (access ladders, trestles, etc) left near the aircraft. It did not... More

Every so often, besides being always open to the public, there are fairs and such of great appeal. Kids are made to feel so welcomed, and on one visit, there being no plane toys, a staff handed our two year old a teddy bear!

Dropping in on a museum with a horde of students can be unsettling for most. At Pacific Coast Air Museum they not only stepped up...they stepped up and out of this world! I brought a group of 12 8th graders for a spontaneous visit to learn more about flight and the every growing collection at this museum. We not only... More
