Glad we took time to visit Pima Air and Space Museum
400 aircraft, 80 acres, 6 indoor air-cooled hangars... just plane awesome! We’re one of the world's largest aircraft collections including 3 hangars of WWII planes, the SR-71, the world's smallest biplane, and many other unique private, military, and commercial air & spacecraft documenting the evolution of flight. There’s something for the everyone from a “flight simulator” Boeing 720 cockpit, the Women in Flight Gallery, and an all around mecca for the aviation aficionado. We give the only tour of the "Boneyard"/AMARG (M-F, no holidays, 16-day advanced reservations required) plus a tram tour of the museum's 80 acres and one-of-a-kind planes. You can actually touch aviation history like "Freedom One" (that flew American hostages home after 444 days in Iran), presidential planes, others with wingspans the near the length of a football field... ogle helicopters, MiGs, an Oscar, a rare German buzz bomb, a moon rock, and much more!

Excellent museum. The extra $8 to take an open tram ride around grounds is worth it as the place is very large. The hanger with the B-17 Flying Fortress is well done. The docents were excellent. We even had an impromptu airshow as the first week in March the airbase next to museum has aircraft practicing for upcoming air shows.

An outstanding collection
When my wife and I made reservations to visit, we saw that the museum offers two-day passes in addition to single-day. We thought that was a little odd, but after visiting, we get it. The collection is huge, with acres of outdoor exhibits and several large hangars filled with amazing aircraft: World War II fighters and bombers, civilian airliners, fighters from other countries, and a couple of presidential aircraft, including Columbine, a Lockheed Constellation used by Dwight Eisenhower. The descriptive text on the indoor exhibits was outstanding, including details on the specific aircraft on display. I wish the outdoor signage had offered a little more detail, but that's my only quibble. We spent most of the day there and didn't see everything, so we certainly understand why you might want to purchase a two-day ticket.
