I found about this museum for the Sevierville Chamber of Commerce. I am so glad I went, there is so much to see and learn about aviation, They also have a great selection of planes to see and learn about.
Thank you for the compliment. The Tennessee Museum of Aviation is definitely a hidden gem in the Great Smoky Mountains. Our facility is wall-to-wall history. The collection of vintage aircraft is varied and well maintained. We hope you make a return trip.

It's not the Air and Space Museum, but it is worth the time for air buffs like my son and me.
The Tennessee Museum of Aviation is indeed small compared to the Smithsonian Institution's National Air and Space Museum, which has the largest collection of historic air and spacecraft in the world. However, we're very proud of the collection in our facility and our FLYING WARBIRDS. Often enough, our museum is compared to the larger government financed facilities ... but, for an independently operated 501(c)(3) ... we're topnotch.
The museum tries to add and change exhibits regularly. Hopefully, you and your son will have an opportunity to make a future visit.
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 flown on a regular basis. The day i was there two of them were being flown for some aerial photography. We were allowed on the ramp during startup and taxi and i got some awesome pics. I did not find the admission price to be cost prohibitive and i would wholehartedly recommend that anyone interested in aviation attend. Dont miss the albatross!!!!
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 we “shine” is a huge compliment. We hope you visit again soon.
Our spouses were in the USA Air Force and Army. They really enjoyed it. The little boys in our family had a blast. Would go again.
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.
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 in the area, even if you aren't really into aircraft. There are lots of history displays to take in.
Thank you for your compliments. The Tennessee Museum of Aviation puts forth an effort to show visitors a memorable experience, not only with the aircraft, but in our exhibit gallery as well. Our goal is for our visitors to walk away with a better understanding and appreciation of aviation and military history. We hope you return again.
