About National Museum of World War II Aviation

The museum sits on a 21-acre campus beside Colorado Springs Airport and is run as a nonprofit without federal funding. Its collection includes 28 fully restored flying aircraft, several ongoing restoration projects, more than 4,000 artifacts and documents, and operational wartime vehicles. Visitors can wander on their own or join a docent-led guided tour for an added fee. Westpac restoration facility tours, which show aircraft being rebuilt, are included with admission but require a museum-led escort.
