This is a great place! If you like history and planes, this is a fantastic place to go and see planes up close and personal! The guys here know their history and can answer any questions you may have about the different planes. It's a working hangar so they may have a plane torn apart to do a checkup on so watch your step.

Great place for those who enjoy aviation. Excellent customer service. They have a small museum, souvenir shop, planes on display and the best planes you can pay for and fly alone or with your family. I enjoyed with my son a flight over Canyon Lake. An absolutely recommended place. I will definitely be back!

You can walk right up to and around the airplanes, which offers a cool prospective. There is also a museum of WWII era artifacts and uniforms that is really neat to see.
They have an antique dog tag stamper that they can make dog tags on.

This place is quite interesting. We basically got a private tour of the hangar by a volunteer guide, which held numerous working 1940s-1950s era military planes. The guide described some of the basic workings of the planes, facts about the training process for pilots, and some less-covered aspects of World War II as pertinent to the planes (with a focus on the Pacific theater).

During the tour, we were allowed to touch the planes, look inside the bomb section, and overall get a sense of the aviation technology from that era. and it's my understanding that, were it not for the coronavirus, we'd also have been able to step into the cockpit. From both and engineering and history perspective, it's a very rewarding experience. I'd recommend this to anyone who had interest in aviation technology or US history.

On a final note, the guides themselves are an essential feature of the facility. Their enthusiasm, knowledgeability, and commitment to the subject matter is quite admirable, and gives the attractions a life that walking through a traditional guided or unguided tour will not. It is unfortunate that this is not a more popular attraction to the area.

Our friendly guide made this an awesome experience he was very kind and knowledgeable about all the planes and artifacts you can tell he has a real passion for it. Me and my boyfriend want to come back with our family. Make sure to leave a donation on your way out.

Visited on our stay cation. Had the privilege to meet Buzz as our tour guide. Knowledgeable because he's lived the military life. Thankful to the veterans like Buzz who secured our freedom.
