Delta Flight Museum, Aviation museum in Atlanta, United States
The Delta Flight Museum is an aviation collection housed in two original maintenance hangars at Delta's global headquarters in Atlanta. The exhibition displays historical aircraft and aviation equipment across a large space, together with gear and materials from different eras of flight history.
The museum's creation began in 1990 when Delta retirees located and restored one of the airline's first Douglas aircraft from the 1940s. What started with a single restored plane grew into a broader collection documenting the company's and aviation's overall history.
The collection displays memorabilia from over 40 airlines, telling the story of commercial aviation's evolution through equipment, uniforms, and photographs. You can see how air travel and its style changed over the decades through these everyday objects.
The space welcomes visitors on multiple weekdays, so check opening days in advance to plan your trip. You can purchase tickets online beforehand, which helps you move through more smoothly.
The museum houses the only publicly accessible Boeing 737 flight simulator in the United States, where visitors can practice piloting. This hands-on experience gives you a real sense of what it feels like to control a large aircraft.
