Housed inside a restored airplane hangar from World War II, the Air Mobility Command Museum is dedicated to preserving and sharing the history of airlift and air refueling. The collection boasts more than 30 different aircraft, including a presidential plane, fighter jets, and helicopters, and there's also a flight simulator where visitors can experience what it's like to pilot a plane. Guided tours take visitors through some of the aircraft and provide plenty of information about the history, and during the summer, the museum hosts Open Cockpit days where even more of the planes are open to the public.
