Peterson Air and Space Museum
Peterson Air and Space Museum, Aviation museum at Peterson Space Force Base, Colorado Springs, United States.
The Peterson Air and Space Museum spans 8.3 acres with multiple exhibition buildings, including the original 1941 Colorado Springs Airport terminal and two converted hangars.
The museum opened in 1982, succeeding the North American Aerospace Defense Command Visitor Center that Colonel Donald Parson established in 1975.
The exhibits present the progression of aviation from 1920s barnstorming through World War II to current aerospace developments, with aircraft and artifacts on display.
Visitors need advance security clearance and passes to enter the museum grounds, as the facility operates within an active military installation.
The EC-121 Warning Star aircraft stands as the sole aircraft open for public tours, featuring equipment used during Cold War surveillance missions.
