3rd of April, 2024
Planes of Fame Air Museum and the Commemorative Air Force (CAF), Arizona Wing, have an incredible "step back in time" experience for everyone coming in late April to the Museum. . CAF is bringing their B-17G Flying Fortress "Sentimental Journey", B-25J Mitchell "Maid in the Shade" and C-45 to Planes of Fame and offering rides and tours throughout their visit.
Your admission to the Museum gets you a tour of these two incredible aircraft. Beginning Thursday, April 3 and continuing daily until Sunday, April 7, guests to the Museum will have the opportunity to walk thru and tour all three of the CAF's visiting aircraft. Starting with Thursday, tours will begin in the afternoon (following flights) and the aircraft (and the Museum) will remain open each day until 5:00pm.

While at the Museum, be sure to see our collection of nearly 100 historic aircraft, including several of the rarest aircraft in the world. Take a tour with our Museum Guides and watch our restoration teams at work. The Museum Gift Shop is stocked with some great items.
The Museum is also offering a 35-40 minute experience in one of its North American P-51D "Mustangs." This includes engine start, run-up, taxi plus a 20-minute flight. Discover what it was like to fly one of the fastest and most effective fighter aircraft from the Second World War.
