A few years back Yankee Air Museum had a terrible fire and lost so many of their artifacts, but the volunteers rushed to the scene and saved the planes. Ever since, they have scoured the country to replenish the museum's exhibits. Their Thunder of Michigan Air Show is a summer treat: Blue Angels, a Stealth, vintage bi-wing planes, and many... More

Several years ago, the Yankee Air Museum experienced a near total loss of its planes in process of restoration and other exhibits. Like the Phoenix rising from the ashes, the museum was not only rebuilt, but the new buildings are a tremendous improvement over the past museum. Although quite small at this time (2011) the Museum members and directors have... More

It's not the Smithsonian in DC or the USAF Muesum in Dayton, but it's rich in history, especially for the B-24, made right there at Willow Run. A dedicated bunch of volunteers work there.

Want to take a ride in a genuine WWII B-17G bomber? You can do it here, but you'll need a reservation well in advance. Good display of other memorable aircraft.

Annual air show is EXCELLENT with a huge variety of flying aircraft. Seems a bit pricy for the show but well worth it once a year. Many vintage non-flying aircraft have been restored at least externally, some stored in hangars, others outside. Open year-round for a great day tour. Be sure to bring your camera!

For quite some time I have wanted to visit the aviation museum at Willow Run Airport because my grandparents helped build the bombers there during WWII. I finally made it over the weekend and was glad I did. The original museum was lost in a fire in 2004. The B-17, C-47, and B-25 were pulled out of the museum before... More
