Aircraft

Walk Among the Giants of Flight

When you visit the Air Zoo's aircraft collection, you're entering the land of giants. Giants of history. Giants of performance and accomplishment. Giants of reputation. You'll be shoulder-to-wingtip with entire generations of the world's most elite flying machines.

You'll see a Curtiss P-40 Warhawk. Gaze up at an awesome F-18. You'll get up close and personal with an overpowering F-14 Tomcat, the star of Top Gun. And you'll stand face-to-face with the SR-71 Blackbird spy plane, still unmatched in speed and altitude.

There's an SBD Dauntless, restored after half a century under water. By the time you're finished, you will have met more than 50 giants, all beautifully restored and reborn.
