10 Best Aviation Museums in the U.S.

"This museum traces aviation from the earliest hot-air balloon models (including a model of the 1783 Montgolfier brothers' balloon) through military aircraft used in World War II, Korea, and Vietnam and into Space Age technology. Interactive features include several flight simulators and a 3D/4D theater that presents films such as Legend of Apollo and Delta Zero, offering both historical depth and hands-on experiences." - Lydia Mansel Lydia Mansel Lydia Mansel is a writer with more than eight years of experience editing and writing for both brands and online publications—with a particular focus on travel, fashion, and lifestyle.
