And this is just the entry hall. The museum is more that just a collection of Airplanes. It will also teach you about many aspects of flight or flight related items. There are currentley galleries containing time periods such as World War I, World War II, Carrier Operations, Flight to the Moon, How does an airplane work, the Missile garden and of course, the Wright Flyer.

The collection it largely in storage due to the amount of items that is owned, but this means that the exhibit galleries change regularly. There is too much to place here. You will just have to visit it yourself.
