went here may 17 in an attempt to find an alternative to the mind numbing drivel on the strip. All i can say is AWESOME. I have been to Pima/davis-monthan, dayton, and others and in terms of scale and numbers of aircraft this is smaller, but in terms of quality this museum shines. many of their planes are airworthy and...

Thank you for your compliments. One of the better experiences at the Tennessee Museum of Aviation – the FLYING WARBIRDS. We do have several airworthy aircraft. When visitors hear one of those big engines fire up … it’s definitely a memory to take home. Often enough, our museum is compared to the larger government financed facilities, and hearing you think... More

Thank you for your comments. Military families always enjoy visiting the Tennessee Museum of Aviation … “big boys” and “little boys” too. Parents that take the opportunity to pass along stories from their past, and connect it to our exhibits makes the experience must more memorable for their children. We hope you return again. More

As a retired Air Force aircraft mechanic, I can really appreciate the time spent keeping these aircraft looking as nice as they do. Keeping them in flying condition is even more amazing. Unusual variety of aircraft and displays makes this one of the better museums that I've been to, and I've been to a lot. Worth a visit to anyone... More

A great museum with a broad overview on some items, but some real detail on others, like the military chaplains display. I'm not a plane buff, but I appreciated the exhibits and knew more when I left than when I arrived! The displays were well-lighted and it was easy to read the captions. More

The Tennessee Museum of Aviation takes pride in our facility. Often enough, our museum is compared to the larger government financed facilities, all of which have considerably more aircraft on display. Our hangar houses several aircraft; most of our collection is “airworthy,” making it a wonderful place for aviation enthusiasts and history buffs. The exhibit gallery provides thousands of historic... More

Great collection of vintage WWII planes as well as some contemporary planes. Somedays you may be lucky enough to catch the owner taking one out for a spin! Most are flyable condition. More

The Tennessee Museum of Aviation takes pride in our collection of "Airworthy Warbirds." Having a 5506 ft runway, just outside our hangar door, makes unscheduled flight demonstration an enjoyable experience for our visitors. Thank you More
