War Eagles Air Museum

Close to the New Mexico–Texas border, War Eagles combines military fighters and trainers with historic cars and mechanical exhibits. That mixed scope is especially relevant to the aircraft-location directory because the museum’s collection is more varied than its military name alone suggests. The collection emphasizes second World War fighters, Cold War trainers and the industrial history of aviation. The museum reports about forty aircraft and a substantial vehicle collection. The present records are the types identified on its official training and civil-aircraft pages, supplemented by a few featured types from the official visitor overview. Entries below are source-backed selections, not necessarily the complete collection. A museum may have an aircraft on loan, under restoration, stored away from public areas, or temporarily absent for a flying event. Where display status is unknown, it is not a promise that the aircraft can be seen on a visit. Check current admission arrangements and specific aircraft access with the institution before traveling.
