The San Diego Aerospace Museum Restoration Facility was established long ago as a small, one-hangar space. The facility is an integral part of the museum’s aircraft restoration and replica reproduction program.
Visitors will be able to see several aircrafts such as the Bee Aviation “Honey Bee”, the Boeing B-52E “Stratofortress”, the Convair F-102A “Delta Dagger”, the North American F-86F “Sabre”, and the Vought F-8J “Crusader”.
You’ll see old planes hanging from the ceiling, flying cars from decades ago, and even partake in workshops where you’ll see restoration projects take place. Visitors of all ages, young and old, will love spending hours exploring the stunning structures.
