The Museum of Aviation is one of ten exciting stops on Georgia’s WWII Heritage Trail. Visitors will be invited to experience WWII aircraft and exhibits located in the Museum’s Scott Exhibit Hangar – Building 3. The “Scott Hangar” named after Gen. Robert Scott, author of God is My Co-Pilot, contains numerous World War II aircraft and displays about the conflict. This hangar also includes exhibits about the Tuskegee Airmen and the 507th Airborne Division. The Museum is restoring a B-17 in the exhibit space so that visitors can see the process, as well as see the amazing B-17 up close.
Special discounts will be available in the Museum of Aviation Gift Shop and at the virtual reality, motion-based, Transporter Ride on Family Aviation Day. Choose from nine adventures! Food Trucks will be located near the Freedom Park Playground and there are available restrooms in all areas.
