Michigan Flight Museum, Aviation museum at Willow Run Airport, Michigan, US
The Michigan Flight Museum is an aviation museum at Willow Run Airport displaying military and civilian aircraft along with flight simulators in several hangars. The exhibition spreads across the grounds with interactive stations that explain flying and aircraft development.
Willow Run Airport was a major production site for bombers during World War II, employing thousands of workers. The museum was founded to preserve this industrial past and the aircraft built there.
The collection tells stories of aviation through the eyes of pilots and mechanics who worked here. Visitors regularly meet veterans who share their personal experiences with the aircraft.
Visitors can move between different hangar areas depending on which aircraft types they want to see. For those wanting to take a flight, reservations should be made in advance since seats are limited.
The museum offers the rare chance to fly in authentic World War II aircraft, not just look at them. This is one of the few places in America where you can actually experience these historical planes in the air.
