We always like to say it's the best thing you've never heard of For about 33 years the museum has been here and it's been a very private experience up until, I would say, a few years ago So we are going through a rebrand and we are transforming the way that you see us

And really the way that we see the community because it is our goal and our aim to really dive into the community and make an impact So thanks for visiting Here at the War Eagles Air Museum we have so much history. We have what's called our Warbird Alley So we have our F4U Corsair, we have our TF-51, our Avenger, our P-38 Lightning

We also have a Huey helicopter and a P-40 Warhawk, which is a fan favorite, that all served in some sort of war Our DC-3 dropped paratroopers in World War II, which is pretty fascinating And then shortly after it was turned into be like a commercial type aircraft So now when you walk in, that's one of the aircraft that you can actually walk in and see

It's done to where people used to fly and take long term trips on it And they have a restroom, they have their seats, they have little food plates showing what it used to look like back in the day The luggage, the whole nine, it's amazing Every step in the hangar shows you some sort of piece of history

We have the line on the ground where the Wright brothers flew their first flight And that's incredibly fascinating and that actually runs through Warbird Alley We have our Cotton Cutie hanging from the sky And so that's actually an aircraft that's hanging, which is really neat

A lot of the kiddos like that one, and it's pink And that represents women in aviation We have all of our, as you're walking through the hangar, all of our blue signs in front of the aircraft All have just an incredible depth of knowledge and information for you to read
