| - The Museum is located next to the Charlotte/Douglas International Airport. Admission is $12 for Adults, $10 for seniors, and $8 for military, kids, and students. The main museum is located in a hanger with a gift shop in an adjacent building. Various aircraft ranging from jets, helicopters, and gliders, both military and civilian, are located inside and outside the hangers. Notable mentions are the US Airways Flight 1549 Airbus that crashed in the Hudson River back in 2009, a DC-3, CH-47 Chinook, an F-4 Cockpit, an Air Force One Replica, as well as several other neat aircraft. Not only do you learn about the aircraft itself, but you learn about the story behind the aircraft. The tour guides are very helpful at answering any question you may have and are very friendly and knowledgeable. The gift shop sells models of aircrafts as well military novelty items. Overall, if you have an interest in aviation, check this place out, there is room for improvement down the road, but I enjoyed my time there.
