A great little free museum centered on a B-25 in excellent working condition, with several other interesting single engine planes as well. It takes a lot of effort to keep planes like these in good working order, and the foundation does a great job. Their collection of items and literature is very nice as well.

Call ahead to schedule a time to visit, to make sure a volunteer will be available to take you on the tour.

We flew in the B-25 Panchito and that was truly an unforgettable experience. Bill, who helped me organize this gift for my husband was amazing, and did everything he could to accommodate us. Every crew member was beyond nice and made sure we had a great experience. They are all volunteers who are passionate about aviation, and they spent time to tell us about the aircraft, the association and any thing we asked about.
The gift was for my husband who is an aviation fan, he loved it. I loved it too and I’m so glad I took a ride as well.
The aircraft is a piece of history and it’s genuinely a fabulous experience. We highly recommend it for any one looking for a unique flying experience!!

Impressive amount of things to look at from planes and military Jeep to ongoing projects. Great fun and learning experience for my brother excited grandson!
