 | |  |  | The Cavanaugh Flight Museum | Tip Rating:      |  |  | |  |
When we were invited by friends to tour the Cavanaugh Flight Museum, I immediately knew my husband would enjoy it. However, I was only going along for the ride. What a surprise to find that I liked it, too! There are over thirty planes displayed within four hangers. All but eight of these planes still fly! In fact, you can schedule a 30 minute flight in one. These planes are in superb condition and sit in immaculate, enclosed hangers. There are special events throughout the year that allow these 'Warbirds' to take to the sky. The museum was founded by Jim Cavanaugh, who wanted to create a 'world-class museum highlighting famous aircraft and aviation heroes'. We saw Fokkers, a Messerschmitt, a B25 and many, many others. I would suggest bringing along the kids or grandkids--it was quite a display! A wonderful gift shop is on the premises, which will cause you to dally for a time. Hours are Mon.-Sat. 9am-5pm, Sun. 11am-5pm. Admission charge can vary, so please call for more details. (Please see my travelogue for lots more planes!)
