If you like planes or military history, this is a must
By A Yahoo! Contributer, 07/03/08
I'm not a big fan of planes, but I knew that this was a museum not to miss. I am glad that I went there. The hangars were very well laid out. I really enjoyed it, more than I thought I would. Even if you don't read everything, the planes are all unique and interesting. The volunteers there are very nice and so informative! Kids would love this place! I recommend it!
If you go to Tucson, you cannot miss this. The best museum I've been to this side of a Smithsonian. I walked away reallt appreciative of those who get in the air and serve our country.

A dream come true
By Nita, 01/18/08
Since childhood,my husband has built many plane models of the planes you have. He was so excited when he had a chance to visit the museum. Just not enough time. Wish we had spent days in your area rather than just the day. Yes it was fun well worth the price. If there was anything negative it was the hot weather.................But that is ...

New life
By firstman78, 01/04/08
I live in Tucson and get visit the air museum a few times a year. I am happy to say that quite a bit of renovation has occurred and that the place looks good. It was good weather this time of year so I didn't make it to any of the hangers besides through the entrance (hanger #1) but the grounds have been kept up and there is some new life in ...

Exciting First Visit
By kiwimaj, 11/01/07
Our first visit, my partner is a real plane enthusiast. Was so breathtaking and loads to see. The weather was just right (going in October, so not so hot). So many wonderful planes, one of the highlights of my whole US trip was walking around Airforce 1, Kennedy's plane...wow, can't put it into words, to actually step foot in it, to walk ...

Hot Planes
By A Yahoo! Contributer, 06/23/07
My grandsons loved it (ages 8 and 10). They asked to 'come back tomorrow'. This seems to be more interesting for males. My sister and I were not as interested as the men. I found it very hot outside to walk around. However, this may have been remedied if we had gotten there in time to take the tour bus. Many exhibits were in hangers which ...

Excellent place
By Anita, 05/18/07
If you like history or aircraft definitely go here! We spent over four hours here and still didn't see everything. Most definitely take the bus tour through AMARC. It was fascinating. The staff is extremely friendly and very knowledgable. My 11 year old daughter loved it, I could barely tear my husband away. Be prepared to do a lot of ...

Very cool exhibits
By A Yahoo! Contributer, 11/12/06
If you're a plane buff, you're going to LOVE this place. If you're just the average tourist, you'll find it entertaining. I would visit this exhibit in the late fall or early spring. We went in August on a 110 degree day and 70% of this exhibit is outside. They do offere water for sale in the gift shop, but it does little to ...

Very Interesting!
By Dezz, 10/13/06
This was a fantastic Museum! I love all the different planes and helicopters they have on display! You even get to walk up into JFK's old "Airforce One" and look around at the original items. There are a lot of educated staff ready to answer any questions you may have. There is also a great "hands on" Space area for the ...
