The IOWA AVIATION MUSEUM celebrates Iowa's remarkable aviation heritage...from the state's first recorded flight in 1910 to its native sons and daughters exploring the universe.
The museum has eleven civil aircraft on display, including some rare examples of early flying machines from the 1920s, 1930s and 1940s.
The museum is home to two military aircraft, an A-7 Corsair jet and a Huey Cobra helicopter, both used in the Viet Nam War, both donated to the museum by the Iowa National Guard. They stand as a tribute to Iowa men and women who have served in the military.
Memorabilia and photographs tell the story of how aviation began and flourished in Iowa. The Iowa Aviation Hall of Fame, located at the museum, honors Iowans who have contributed significantly to the growth of aviation.
Sunday-1 p.m. to 5 p.m.
Annual Wings, Wheels, and Whistles Celebration: Sunday, August 28, 2005
