Great Plains Wing - Commemorative Air Force Museum

Wow what a undiscovered treasure I have come across. Perhaps others have know about this but I went for the first time and will be back. Under some rearranging but the history and artifacts are humbling as an American. #god bless the men and women that have sacrificed before us.

We'll update photos of over 30 display cases and exhibits in the Great Plains Wing's Museum - during the next few months. We'll be sharing our heroes, allies and enemies; aircraft (like the B-17 Flying Fortress and P-51 Mustangs), great battles, maps, medals, models, many Uniforms, and the Way things Work.

Great Art and artifacts, blueprints; Lessons in Science, Technology (know what plane put computers to work for the first time?), Engineering, and easy applications of Math are everywhere in our Hangar & Museum.

There's important History, and vital facts about the way things have changed - we helped save millions of lives in China and Russia, and those former allies, communist nations have become our most threatening enemies. Yet our greatest enemies 80 years ago, Germany and Japan that we defeated in WW2, then rebuilt, they are now friends and allies!! If you want to learn from History, this is a great place to find answers.f PROS working on an Aeronca Champ, and ERCO Ercoupe.

It was stunning another place to visit if your visiting omaha theyre currently fixing one of theyre display areas recommended people to come around july august when theyre finished but nonetheless the tour was amazing and seeing how everything was built and what happened was amazing

We enjoyed our visit so much!! The gentlemen were very accommodating and knowledgeable. They were going through some renovations and kept apologizing for their mess but it did not take away from our visit! Entry is free but there is a donation box near the door and I'm sure you'll want to donate too!! Worth a visit!!

It's small and fairly difficult to navigate, but they have some neat stuff. I will say it is fairly difficult to find as well, but it is a decent small museum. I recommend waiting until an event at the airport in order to see it, however, as official airport hours are variable.
