National Museum of World War II Aviation, Colorado Springs

One of the best museums I have been to in a while! Awesome timeline layout walk from end of WW1 to beginning and end of WW2. Follow the white arrows and you go year by year learning about this generation of aviation. Wonderfully setup, 25+ aircraft, lots of memorabilia and information. Guided tours each hour over at the separate hangar where they are always restoring new aircraft! Multiple volunteers with expert knowledge who were super friendly and clearly enthusiastic about aviation. Can easily spend 1-3 hours here, we took our time reading and following the arrows and ended up around 2.5 hours. Love this place and highly recommended.

Wow! I’m thrilled with the overall experience! My wife and I spent four hours in the museum and easily could’ve spent more time! I really thought the whole experience was well curated and I appreciated the personal stories that accommodated each of the artifacts. Additionally, learning about each plane in-depth was really nice. Finally, speaking to the team that helps maintain/repair the planes was equally fascinating. Please note, I’m choosing to not post more than the one photo I have included as they have asked any photos are for personal use. Just know the planes are in excellent condition and basically all are airworthy! They have an air show every other year (or so we were told) and they will have their next show this September (2022). If we didn’t live in another country, we would certainly come back for the air show.
