Aviation Museums within the USA (alphabetical order)

NOTE: ever since WordPress had to halt using JAVA I cannot update this listing.

These listings are in alphabetical order but if you want to search by state or by city then I suggest that you use a word search (CTRL-F) will bring up the proper window—a two letter post office abbreviation is used for the state in the address. There are quite a few military bases that have vxcellent aviation displays but require either a military ID or an escort to see them, so these have not been addressed in this particular list.

Last updated May 2021: the USA is a large country with much in the way of aviation history—200+ museums with three newly opened museums this year. Yet, the states of  West Virginia and Mississippi each lack even a single dedicated aviation museum, though each has a museum in part dedicated to aviation.

Mr. Patrick Carry maintains the museum list at Warbird Alley and shared the many updates he has diligently found verifying links several times per year.

Museums that are on ships or where ships are present are listed in this color (5 aircraft carriers and 2 battleships).
