About Joe Davies Heritage Airpark

The airpark presents aircraft flown, tested, designed, produced or modified at United States Air Force Plant 42, highlighting the region's aerospace history. Its collection includes 21 retired military aircraft on static display, along with a 1/8 scale B-2 Spirit model, an AGM-28 Hound Dog missile, a B-52, and a C-46. The city plans to expand it to over 40 aircraft. A volunteer Adopt-a-Plane program lets groups help clean the displays. Aircraft were donated or loaned to the city, which operates the park.
