Home to a collection of more than 100 historic aircraft, the Southern Museum of Flight presents a fascinating history of aviation from the earliest days of powered flight to modern times.

Many of the aircraft are displayed outdoors, but there are also several excellent indoor exhibits, including a display of Vietnam War Helicopters, a diorama honoring the Tuskegee Airmen, and a B-25 that was recovered from the bottom of Lake Murray. Another highlight of the facility is the Alabama Aviation Hall of Fame, which features collective biographical information about some of the most significant figures in the history of Alabama aviation.
