Kissimmee Air Museum, Aviation museum at Kissimmee Gateway Airport, United States.
Kissimmee Air Museum was an aviation museum at Kissimmee Gateway Airport featuring military aircraft from World War II through the Vietnam War era. The collection included both indoor exhibits and outdoor displays of restored warbirds.
The museum opened in 2007 following Hurricane Charley's destruction of the Flying Tigers Warbird Restoration Museum. It operated as a repository for aviation artifacts before relocating to South Carolina in 2021.
The museum supported educational programs about flight technology, aerospace engineering, and the evolution of military aircraft through hands-on demonstrations.
The museum was located at Kissimmee Gateway Airport, placing visitors near active flight operations on the grounds. Checking opening hours in advance was essential since the facility operated seasonally with varying schedules.
The museum was more than a static collection, functioning as an active restoration workshop where visitors could observe maintenance work on actual military aircraft. This blend of exhibition and ongoing repair work gave the experience a hands-on quality that went beyond typical museum visits.
