Aircraft history displays
Aviation museums are institutions that preserve and display aircraft, artifacts, and exhibits related to the history of flight.
They range from small collections of vintage planes to major facilities housing military fighters, commercial airliners, and spacecraft.
Many feature interactive exhibits, flight simulators, and restored aircraft: The aviation museum had a working Spitfire on display.
