The Pima Air & Space Museum is one of the largest, non-government funded air and space museums in the world. With 400 aircraft on 80 acres with 6 display hangars and 125,000 artifacts, there is something for everyone. The museum's collections spans commercial, civilian and military aircraft, including a Boeing 787 Dreamliner, B-36 Peacemaker, SR-71 Blackbird and a P-51 Mustang.

History

Established in 1976.

As part of the US's bicentennial celebration the Arizona Aerospace Foundation opened with 75 planes. Today, the 80-acre Pima Air & Space Museum exhibits 400 of the most important aircraft in the history of flight and more than 125,000 artifacts. Half of the collection is in hangars: almost four football fields of indoor air-cooled space. This size and diversity of the museum's collection is second only to the Smithsonian Institution's National Air and Space Museum collection. Aviation history is brought to life for visitors by museum volunteers who have first-hand knowledge about many of the planes on display. Additionally, museum visitors can actually touch many of the aircraft on display because there no barriers around them. It has an aircraft restoration shop, volunteer and membership programs, and hosts student tours free of charge.
