Museum of Flight

As the name suggests, it showcases the astounding achievements of man's ingenuity. It takes you on a nostalgic journey into the history of flight from the first successful attempt to fly by Wright Brothers to the latest high- tech achievements of the space age.

It's vast collections include commercial, military and civilian air craft. The collection has grown to include more than 150 full- size airplanes, helicopters and spacecraft.

For those interested in more modern aircraft, there are the dynamic M- 21 Blackbird, the fastest and highest- flying aircraft ever built, and the VC- 137B Air Force One, which flew President Dwight D. Eisenhower on a historic visit to meet with Germany's Chancellor Konrad Adenauer in 1959. It also offers information to school going children.

You can step into the Personal Courage Wing and experience stories of courage as told through a collection of 28 fighter aircraft—in a setting that will simply amaze you

Hours : 10a- 5p M- Su.
