About Pima Air & Space Museum

The Pima Air & Space Museum shows about 400 historic aircraft on 80 acres, with six indoor exhibit hangars and long rows of planes parked outdoors. The collection runs from a Wright Flyer to a 787 Dreamliner, and the main hangar holds an SR-71A Blackbird. The Philippine Mars, a Martin Mars flying boat, arrived in 2025. The separate 390th Memorial Museum, with its B-17G, is also on the grounds, and the museum sits next to Davis-Monthan Air Force Base.
