in #aviation3 months ago

The Museum of Aviation is the second-largest aerospace museum of the United States Air Force. The museum is located just outside Warner Robins, Georgia (near Robins Air Force Base).

As of July 2019, the museum included four exhibit buildings and more than 85 historic aircraft, among other exhibits, on its 51 acres (21 ha). Admission is free to nearly half-million visitors each year, which makes it the fourth-most-visited museum of the United States Department of Defense.

The Museum of Aviation, originally the Southeastern Museum of Aviation, was founded in 1980. The museum opened its first office in 1982 after the acquisition of another private collection. That same year, the Air Force approved the museum's ten-year plan, and fundraising efforts began to collect the $9.5 million in projected construction costs for a permanent museum facility.
