Immerse yourself in aerospace history at the North Carolina Aviation Museum. Located in central North Carolina, the museum houses vintage, antique and historic aircraft and hundreds of smaller artifacts. Here you can see a collection of  authentically restored, airworthy aircraft dating from before World War II through the Vietnam era.

The museum is a great place to learn, reminisce and stand in awe of magnificent machinery. Our aircraft and artifacts are housed in two hangars and are on display for public viewing. Museum patrons are not permitted to board aircraft. The NC Aviation Museum also houses a large collection of authentic military uniforms, medals, memorabilia and historic artifacts. Take a trip back in time while reading the newspaper headlines from the 1940s.

Following your tour of the museum, be sure to stop by our museum store for a souvenir and gaze up at the south’s largest collection of model airplanes. The NC Aviation Museum is a non-profit organization dedicated to the restoration and preservation of historic aircraft and aerospace artifacts, and educating the public about aerospace history and about the men and women who made sacrifices for our freedom.
