The Yankee Air Museum is an incredible destination for anyone interested in aviation and aerospace history. Located at the historic Willow Run Airport near Ypsilanti, Michigan, it showcases the incredible legacy of aviation technology developed in the state over the past century.

Established in 1981, Yankee Air Museum was created to preserve, restore and display vintage military aircraft. As one of the nation’s largest flying collections of historic aircraft, visitors can explore classic World War II bombers such as a B-17 Flying Fortress, B-25 Mitchell Bomber and P-51 Mustang Fighter. The museum also has several restored helicopters on display including a CH-46 Sea Knight. In addition to its iconic airplanes and helicopters, other warbird aircraft includes a Lockheed PV-2 Harpoon Torpedo Bomber and North American T-6 Texan trainer plane.

The Yankee Air Museum not only plays host to these impressive aviation artifacts but also serves as an educational institution with exhibits and activities designed to educate people about aviation history. The museum features interactive displays that highlight advancements made in flight technology throughout history as well as preservation projects that help maintain classic aircraft for future generations to enjoy.

Other areas of the museum highlight specific aspects of aviation history such as special tributes to military veterans who served their country through service in the armed forces or as test pilots at Willow Run Airport during WWII. The museum often hosts special events like air shows featuring performances from stunt planes or historical reenactments that bring patrons closer to the experience of being a pilot in yesteryear’s skies.

The Yankee Air Museum stands out among other historical attractions by combining its impressive collection of vintage aircraft with interactive educational programs designed to bring historical events alive for its visitors. It offers something for everyone – from those looking for more information about aviation history to families desiring interactive experiences that will keep kids engaged while learning valuable lessons about our nation’s past. By taking advantage of all this destination has to offer, guests will find themselves immersed in an unforgettable experience celebrating America’s rich heritage of innovation and progress through air power!
