Wings of a Dream Museum, Aviation museum in São Carlos, Brazil.
Description
Wings of a Dream Museum is an aviation museum in Itu displaying over 100 aircraft across a sprawling facility. The collection ranges from early Brazilian designs to military fighters and commercial aircraft spanning multiple decades.
