THE PLANES THAT MADE AMERICA GREATIn 1973, founder Charles Nichols
had a dream to create a world-
class aviation museum. Since
then, that dream has grown and
grown to include over 200 of
the world’s rarest aircraft — the
majority of which are maintained
in airworthy condition.What makes Yanks Air Museum
unique is that Charles’ vision
was for a museum that would highlight the magnificent achievements of
American men and women that designed, built, and flew the world’s greatest
aircraft.Our collection of pioneering Golden Age aircraft is second to none but we
also place special emphasis on the
trainers, fighters, and bombers that won
the Second World War.Photography is encouraged. Join us on
the third Saturday for flights, forums,
food, and fun. We know you will want
