Arizona Commemorative Air Force Museum, Military aviation museum in Mesa, United States

The Arizona Commemorative Air Force Museum in Mesa displays historical military aircraft, weapons, and wartime artifacts from aviation history. The collection includes restored combat aircraft and bombers that show visitors how aviation evolved during major conflicts.

The museum was established to preserve military aviation history and displays aircraft that served during major conflicts of the 20th century. The collection focuses especially on aircraft from World War II and their role in the air campaigns of that era.

The Sacred Steel exhibit displays a recovered section from the USS Arizona, connecting visitors to the loss of life during the Pearl Harbor attack. This artifact makes the reality of war tangible and personal for those who view it.

The museum is easy to reach from central Mesa and works well for a half-day visit. Visitors should wear comfortable shoes since you will walk through multiple hangars to view all the aircraft on display.

Visitors can sit in the actual cockpits of World War II aircraft during Open Cockpit Tours, experiencing what it felt like to be in the pilot's seat. This hands-on experience transforms the visit beyond simply viewing exhibits.
