The museum exists to preserve, restore and present a balanced view of
historic aircraft and artifacts that represent the history of aviation. Visitors
can see aircraft from the Vietnam War, such as the Texas-built A-7B Corsair II,
or an F-105D Thunderchief, which flew 292 combat missions. Other exhibits
include a World War II era AT-10 Stinson Reliant that hunted German submarines
with the British Royal Fleet Air Arm. Along with an assortment of tracked combat
vehicles and jeeps, the museum also has a T-33, HOS-4 helicopter, T-2B, a flying
BC-12D Taylorcraft with Spanish Civil War markings and other aircraft on loan.
