Aircraft history collection
An aviation museum is a museum dedicated to aircraft and the history of flight.
Collections typically include historic planes, helicopters, and related artifacts—from early biplanes to military fighters to spacecraft.
Many display decommissioned aircraft that visitors can view up close or even enter: We spent the afternoon at the aviation museum looking at World War II bombers.
