Arizona Aviation Museum Guide
Pima Air & Space Museum
6000 East Valencia Road
Tucson, Arizona 85706
The Pima Air & Space Museum is one of the largest aviation Museums in the world, and the largest non-government funded aviation Museum in the United States. The Museum maintains a collection of more than 300 aircraft and spacecraft from around the globe, including many rare and one-of-a-kind, and more than 125,000 artifacts. Here you will walk among the giants of our aviation heritage, including military, commercial, and civil aviation. Among them are a B-29 “Superfortress,” the Lockheed SR-71 “Blackbird,” and a rare World War II German V-1 “buzz bomb.”
The Pima Air & Space Museum's collection includes President John F. Kennedy's “Air Force One,” and presidential aircraft used by president's Nixon and Johnson. The Museum has five large hangars totaling more than 177,000 feet of exhibit space. In addition, the 390th Bombardment Group (Heavy) Memorial Museum is located on the Museum grounds. Pima Air & Space maintains its own aircraft restoration center, and is also proud to offer exclusive tours of the Aerospace Maintenance and Regeneration Group (AMARG), also known as the “Boneyard,” located across the street at Davis-Monthan Air Force Base.
If you are in the Tucson area, or reside on planet Earth, this is a must see Air Museum for all aviation buffs!
