We enjoyed our visit so much!! The gentlemen were very accommodating and knowledgeable. They were going through some renovations and kept apologizing for their mess but it did not take away from our visit! Entry is free but there is a donation box near the door and I'm sure you'll want to donate too!! Worth a visit!!Visited onWeekendWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNoPrice for adult entryFree
It was stunning another place to visit if your visiting omaha theyre currently fixing one of theyre display areas recommended people to come around july august when theyre finished but nonetheless the tour was amazing and seeing how everything was built and what happened was amazing
Very well documented and chronological air museum. Staff are hands on and we'll informed.
It's small and fairly difficult to navigate, but they have some neat stuff. I will say it is fairly difficult to find as well, but it is a decent small museum. I recommend waiting until an event at the airport in order to see it, however, as official airport hours are variable.
Fun times seeing the P-51 Mustang fly!
Small but alot of WWII history. Was said that the P51D was in Texas for an air show.
Do not waste your time coming here. Went on a Saturday and it was closed. Posted hours clearly state they are open 9 to 4.
Great little ww2 museum, fun hanger, and a great fly in breakgast with pancakes!
Run by a small crew of super friendly guys who are passionate about history and their plane.
Great place for any Aviation buff!
