Small but a good place to show kids about aviation history.

If you are into old airplanes it's a great little museum. There were 2 gentlemen who were volunteers that showed us around and shared their knowledge and love of airplanes and aviation history. There are a number of WW1 and WW2 airplanes and other historical items.

The first impression on the outside makes you wonder if there are any planes. But once you walk in you are glad you came! It isn't huge but my husband and 2 year old son loved it! They have a lot of different planes and the gentleman working there had a lot of information. It is free but give a donation.

This place is awesome. It's small on the outside but packs tons of interest on the inside. The gentleman running it was very nice and informative. My 10 year old son loved it! The adults had a great time as well. If in the area definitely worth a visit. Its free but they do except donations to keep the place going.

Luke Groth

Marty Wood

Great Place

Sherry W.

Overall a great experience. I always recommend telling them it is your first time. If it's your first time, a volunteer walks around with you giving details on the exhibits. If you have been there before they are hands off. I personally like the interaction with the volunteers.

frank prisco

Free admission and rep had good knowledge of planes

Morgan Soja

Fun stop in Hendersonville. My husband is really interested in planes/aviation etc. The staff that work there are very knowledgeable. Each plane has detailed records about the history and production. There are planes from different eras and even a gyrocopter! While it's not a big museum, it is a thorough one. It's a great way to spend an hour or so!

Rex Butler

Small museum with lots to see. Run by volunteers who love what they do and it shows. Highly recommend!

Terry Kimsey

Friendly, fun, museum dedicated to the preservation of historical aviation. Great, kid-friendly atmosphere to explore vintage aircraft and replicas from civil and military aviation from WWI thru WWII. Also, a great resource to view photos, documents, equipment and various other memorabilia from the time period. Aircraft on display are changed out periodically. The volunteers are a wealth of knowledge and information. This museum is truly a labor of love.

Jill Levy

AirPlanes. Up close and personal. Great for kids. Hard to find, but worth it.

Alex Fisher

Cool airplane

Christian Naitsirhc

Awesome staff. Great exhibits. My 8yo son had a blast.

Barbara Keeton

Great little air museum chock full of aircraft!

ZaSeaDog

OK OK listen to this story, I met a couple of pilots when touring the museum. This probably doesn't seems to out of the ordinary, but they were supper nice and everyone was helpful. I do believe that they worked there, but they took me up in there airplanes, and all I had to do was pay for gas. Just don't go in asking for rides, if they feel you are really into airplanes and that you are passionate they may offer. Just don't go in demanding a ride because you probably won't get one.

Dustin Brisky

Awesome. A must for any aviation junkie in the area.

Patrick Warncke

Great place to check out, especially during the WNC Apple Festival!

Edward Timblin

A wonderful little Museum located in the suburbs of Hendersonville North Carolina. They have a small selection of aircraft and other are related memorabilia there for you to look at. Over although a nice place to take the children and have them look at these items without having to go to a big city location.

Mechelle McAl

It was a nice small air museum. The gentleman who answered our questions was great with two active boys. You learn alot about WWI-WWII planes. No admission fees just donations.

Patrica Hawxhurst

Fun and interesting.

Virginia Weaver

So much more than expected! I expected a crummy little museum with not much to offer, due to ther fact that I've lived here for years and never heard of it. I couldn't have been more wrong! They have incredible planes to the ceilings, knowledge beyond measure, and incredible kindness toward our residents! I will definitely be back!
