Tours encompass the Great Gallery and Red Barn, and can be customized to each group's interest and schedule. A typical tour is an hour in length, and leads visitors through the evolution of aviation by examining the aircraft in the Museum's world-class collection, including the famous Blackbird, the only remaining Boeing 80A, and the Aerocar III. |
