Its a little hidden museum but well worth it. You can take lots of pictures and you can even see airplanes take off from the airport. They also have some very cool cars on display.

Very nice air museum! Right next to an airport so you can see planes flying in and out (so be prepared for noise). The cashier was very nice and the establishment is very clean! Plenty to see and read.

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.

I would give it at least 2 hours it's interesting take your time there's a little theater there. They have docents on premise so you can feel free to ask them anything you want to know about some of the planes in the cars.

The Airshow is May 8th through May 12th. That was the B24 Witchcraft bomber. I was on it last year. More information at Collins foundation or the Lyons Museum. Tickets start at $450. To fly on the fighter planes. Be prepared to drop over 2 grand. The $450 flights go for about 30 minutes. Those cover all bombers. If you go on the last ride of the day. They may go longer. For the fighter planes. Due to how expensive it is. They go for about a hour or so. You also get to fly the plane with strict supervision. I highly recommend checking it out. The views you get in Orange County, Long Beach, and L.A are stunning. You see parts of Orange County, Long Beach, and L.A that not many people get to see. Also bring a sweater, gloves, and bean cap just in case. It may be cold up in the air.

You have a maroon Indian motorcycle under the wing of one of the aircraft. What year and model is it? I took a picture but I didn't see a sign for it. Thanks!

No Juan. That motorcycle is green and I was able to observe it by looking at the website myself. Try again.
