We flew in the B-25 Panchito and that was truly an unforgettable experience. Bill, who helped me organize this gift for my husband was amazing, and did everything he could to accommodate us. Every crew member was beyond nice and made sure we had a great experience. They are all volunteers who are passionate about aviation, and they spent time to tell us about the aircraft, the association and any thing we asked about.
The gift was for my husband who is an aviation fan, he loved it. I loved it too and I’m so glad I took a ride as well.
The aircraft is a piece of history and it’s genuinely a fabulous experience. We highly recommend it for any one looking for a unique flying experience!!

Impressive amount of things to look at from planes and military Jeep to ongoing projects. Great fun and learning experience for my brother excited grandson! He was really amazed that he was able to get so close to the planes and military Jeep. The staff was friendly and tailored throw presentation to a young child's level.

I quite liked this place! It had a lot to look at and some cute things for the kids. All the volunteers were very knowledgeable and helpful. I couldn’t believe the amount of planes they had and you could look inside them! I would absolutely go back.
