The museum was founded in 1981 as part of the Air Force Heritage Program and hosts 200,000 visitors annually. It has 64 military aircraft and missiles on display, plus a variety of ordnance, ground equipment, military vehicles, uniforms and other historical artifacts. Hours are 9 a.m.-4:30 p.m. daily.
