Western Museum of Flight

This museum is growing and recently got more hanger space to display their aircraft. The main museum and artifacts are one hanger, along with a few planes. The space between the hangers now is a place where they can park their collection of F14 and A4 aircraft. The second hanger has an amazingly kept harrier jet. In our visit, the main attractions are the YF17, which was the test plane that became the F18, and the GE powered YF23 stealth fighter. The fighter, better known as the one that lost to the F22 in flight trials. The staff was awesome and does great with kids, showing them interesting things to keep them engaged. Hopefully the museum can expand more to share their collection of aviation items better.

Great museum for aviation enthusiasts. There are quite a few exhibits geared towards aviation in Southern California, as well. The museum also has guest speakers on Saturdays through much of the year.

Such an amazing, small aviation museum. Awesome aircraft, lots of history. Absolutely loved it.
