About
Four Blue Angels Skyhawks hang in tight diamond formation above the seven-story glass atrium, and that is just the front door of one of the largest aviation museums on earth. More than 150 restored aircraft fill the floor, from a Curtiss flying boat that first crossed the Atlantic to Vietnam-era fighters and the jet that flew President George W.

Admission is free, parking is free, and on most Tuesday and Wednesday mornings from spring through fall you can catch the real Blue Angels practicing overhead.
