The golden age of aviation is recalled by more than two dozen vintage
aircraft, from a meticulously restored B-17 Flying Fortress to spindly liaison
aircraft. There's a "razorback" P-47 Thunderbolt, a P-38 Lightning, a Spitfire,
other bombers, trainers and wartime "executive" aircraft—all in flying
condition. There's also the Conoco Hall of Power, with historic engines, photos,
air combat memorabilia and wartime vehicles. Open 10 a.m.–5 p.m. daily, except
for major holidays. Admission charge. 2002 Terminal Drive, at Scholes
International Airport. 888/FLY-LSFM. www.lsfm.org.
