About Kansas Aviation Museum

The museum occupies a former municipal airport terminal in Wichita, a building designed by Glen H. Thomas that served the airport from 1935 to 1954. Visitors can explore indoor exhibits, walk out to the ramp to see a dozen or more displayed aircraft, and climb the upper control tower for views of the city and nearby McConnell Air Force Base. Volunteers restore aircraft in a shop on site, and the archive holds original documents, photographs, and blueprints of historic planes. The museum also runs a Kansas Aviation Hall of Fame, educational programs, summer camps, and special events, and offers archive tours for visitors 13 and older.
