Classic Rotors Museum

Classic Rotors Museum in Ramona houses a collection of restored helicopters representing different designs and generations of rotorcraft. The facility sits at a working airport where visitors can see the machines and learn about their construction.

The museum was established in 1992 when the founder began building and flying his own helicopter. This personal project grew into a collection that documents how rotorcraft technology developed over time.

The museum reflects how helicopters shaped modern aviation and served in different roles from rescue to transport. Visitors experience how these machines became essential tools in both military and everyday civilian life.

The museum offers guided tours led by volunteers who explain how the aircraft work and what makes each one special. Visitors have chances to watch operational helicopters during air demonstrations held throughout the year.

The collection displays different rotor types that represent various technical solutions for vertical flight. These contrasting designs help visitors understand why engineers developed different helicopter models to solve different problems.
