Chico Air Museum, Aviation museum at Chico Municipal Airport, US.

The Chico Air Museum occupies a World War II-era hangar built for the Chico Army Airfield, next to the Chico Air Attack Base at Chico Municipal Airport. Inside and on an outdoor static display area it shows aircraft such as a Lockheed P-2 Neptune, an Antonov An-2, an F-15 Eagle, an F-86 Sabre and a SPAD S.XIII, plus scale models and an aviation research library.

Six local aviation enthusiasts founded the nonprofit Chico Air Museum in 2004, receiving a Lockheed P-2 Neptune and an Antonov An-2 as its first aircraft donations that same year. It opened to the public in May 2005 at Chico Municipal Airport, about six kilometers from downtown. In 2015 it moved into a larger hangar built during World War II for the Army Air Corps.

The museum was founded in 2004 by six local aviation enthusiasts, among them Vic Alvistur, Jim Babcock and Noel Wheeler, who wanted to keep Chico's flying past alive. In 2016 it started the Airman Docent Program, letting volunteers under 18 guide visitors. In September 2021 the flyable B-17G Sentimental Journey, a former Chico firefighting plane, stopped here on a national tour.

The museum sits about six kilometres from downtown Chico at the municipal airport, in a hangar built during World War II. The hangar stands next to the Chico Air Attack Base, so in fire season visitors can watch air tankers reload and refuel there. Indoor exhibits and the outside static display are both seen on foot.

The museum's hangar sits beside the Chico Air Attack Base, where air tankers reload and refuel during fire season. Visitors can watch these operations from the museum grounds, seeing modern firefighting aircraft at work next to the historic planes on display.
