B-52 and other legends of American aviation
The Kansas Aviation Museum is a must for amateur pilots, military history buffs, and gear-heads in general, not to mention an ideal place for families since your kids will love climbing around the old planes and exploring the cockpits. Hey, even many adults would like to climb around the planes and explore historic cockpits! The building itself is a hulking art-deco masterpiece that’s worth a few minutes of your time by itself. But, of course, the real treasure is inside: you’ll find classic biplanes like the Laird Swallow, Stearman Trainer, and American Eagle aside more modern ones like the Beech Starship or Boeing 727. On the runway outside of the museum you’ll find the jewel in the crown of American aviation: the legendary B-52, full-restored and on-display for all.
