The museum
Outside Eglin Air Force Base, this specialist museum interprets the hardware of air-delivered weapons and the airplanes designed to carry them. Exhibits extend beyond the weapons themselves to aircraft from propeller fighters to stealth reconnaissance.
Outside Eglin Air Force Base, this specialist museum interprets the hardware of air-delivered weapons and the airplanes designed to carry them. Exhibits extend beyond the weapons themselves to aircraft from propeller fighters to stealth reconnaissance.
The aircraft collection concentrates on united States airborne armament, combat aircraft, strategic bombers and reconnaissance platforms associated with weapons testing. The foundation publishes a catalog of preserved aircraft and an outdoor display park accessible separately from the indoor exhibits. Armament, missiles and simulator exhibits are excluded from the Air Archive’s selected aircraft list.
The aircraft entries below are selected records from the institution’s own collection pages, not a claim to reproduce its entire inventory. A type shown in a museum catalog is not automatically available for inspection: restoration, loan, operational, and reserve storage arrangements can change. Where the catalog does not establish current public display, these records retain an unknown display status.
