The docents are all volunteers with military service. My fifth graders loved this field trip, especially when they got answers to their questions and some war stories that a little inappropriate. :)

When we visited, we partnered up with a Vietnam veteran who showed us around the museum. Not only did we learn a great deal about the aircraft, but we learned things about Vietnam we'd not heard before. The insider information was marvelous. We've lived here over 17 years and we finally made time to experience this museum - what a... More

My husband and I visit the musuem several times a year. It never gets old learning about the history of aviation. The musuem sponsors events during the year on different topics and there are programs for children.

I really wanted to like this museum, but honestly, there just wasn't enough to like. The Good: There is quite a bit of historical information about Southwest Airlines which was interesting to read. Scattered throughout the hanger are lots of model airplanes and memorabilia, along with fact posters and other tidbits. The highlight of the museum is the "Flying Pancake"... More

This is a neat little museum, lots of interactive displays and exhibits. Good stuff for the kids to see, it was a good 90 minute stop that kept younger elementary and junior high kids interested. Several planes suspended overhead, as well as interesting Southwest airlines info. Older airplanes as well as newer planes, and very nice volunteers.

What a great museum with very interesting exhibits for those that love the history of flight progress. All of the volunteers we met and spoke to had first hand knowledge with some of the aircraft. One even allowed my son to climb into the Huey's pilot seat and then sit in a jet fighter's cockpit. Their was just a little... More

Cool way to spend an afternoon, espically if you have a little one who is into airplanes. Lots to see and look at. Very cool to see all the aircraft.

I was at a fund-raising function; but the exhibits were still available to view and my wife and I thought it was very interesting.
