Aircraft: The Museum boasts a collection of aircraft starting with a Curtiss-Wright B-14-B “Speedwing” bi-plane built in 1932. It is beautifully restored and is the only one of two built restored and on display. Other aircraft include all “Century” series USAF aircraft, a MIG–17PF and MIG–21F, plus a Pitts S-1 acrobatic racer and an AQM – 187 drone.

Norden Bomb Sight: On display is one of the original Norden bomb sights which were used by American bombardiers for precision day bombing during World War II. These bomb sights were really small computers and were maintained and repaired in the shops at the Sacramento Air Depot (later Sacramento Air Logistics Center at McClellan AFB).

Air Force Art Collection: On display are over 30 original pieces of art on loan from the US Air Force Art Collection. These paintings rotate annually and add to the large collection of Aerospace Museum of California art that is also on display.

Engines: The Museum’s collection of engines is quite extensive and grows frequently as new engines are restored and put on display. On display engines include: 

Morphis Motion Ride Simulator: Have you ever wanted to fly as a pilot in a World War Spad, or a P-38 Lighting, or P-51 Mustang, or even an F-86 Sabre Jet? Now is your chance. The Motion Ride Simulator allows you to have the feeling and visual effect of sitting in the cockpit with the pilot and experiencing flight as never before. Or, you can launch from an aircraft carrier and fly a mission in a US Navy F/A-18. There is a small extra charge, but it is worth every cent!

Audio Tour: Listen to the stories about the aircraft in the collection and hear the words of pilots and crew members who flew in these aircraft as you tour the museum and air park.
