• Not only are the planes amazing but so are the many volunteers who help bring history to life. A veteran pilot from WWII spent time with us to share stories. This was a great experience! – Aaron G., Yelp
• Really excellent, outgoing docents - all guys who've got hands-on experience with the machines. Patient. Good story-tellers. Highly knowledgeable. – skagittraveler, TripAdvisor
