| Randall , Alabama |  Absolutely a tremendous experience. A large selection of aircraft from the "Century of Aviation" are available for viewing from a "Wright Flyer" through an A-12 to the "Beechcraft Starship"! Civilian, Army, Navy, Air Force, Home Built Aircraft and Helicopters are displayed. Childrens activities, simulators, aviation giftshop items and tours are available. The museum supports the area EAA who are returning many older aircraft to their like new condition in a large renovation hangar. The museum also houses the "Alabama Aviation Hall of Fame" which tells the stories of individuals who made Alabama rich aviation history. You really must see this large and growing facility when you are in the Birmingham area. 05/07/2008 @ 01:59 [ref: 7465] |
| Andrew Bates Sutton Coldfield, | Well worth the visit. Excellent selection of aircraft and exhibits. Had my own guided tour of the restoration area as well. Very interesting and much appreciated. 08/26/2002 @ 17:35 [ref: 2423] |
| DF Paris, Illinois | While the the aircraft nubers are small, the selection is terrific if the main idea is to showcase aviation history. For instance, they have one of only two remaining Huff-Daland dusters. This is the aircraft that started Delta Airlines. From the Blackbird back to the Eaglerock all facets of aviation have been included. Whether it is civilian, military, rotorwing, glider, homebuilt, antique or replica ther is an example aircraft. Yes, it's small but well worth the stop. 08/28/2001 @ 13:54 [ref: 1407] |
| Harry Woods Sellersburg, Indiana |  Smallish, but they have plans on expanding. Interesting items from the "Red Baron" on display. Many engines. Tends to focus of general aviation - My opinion. I had "discovered" this museum by mistake on my way back from Atlanta to Birmingham airport. I followed the signs and was AMAZED to see a A-12! Good thing noone was behind me when I suddenly stopped the car. Unfortunately, there is almost nothing about this aircraft in the museum, its just left out in the "annex" down the road. (beside 4 rusting hulks) The fastest plane on earth, and its not a (or THE for that matter) master showpiece of the museum is beyond comprehension. 05/11/2001 @ 13:49 [ref: 1093] |
