At this time, there are approximately 20 Air Force Museums in the United States. Others, like the Tinker Heritage Air Park Museum, is dedicated to vintage and present-day airplanes or private collections of firearms and military memorabilia of other types. There are museums of all types for you to explore that relate to aeronautics of all types as well as military history.
A lot of these small museums, like Tinker, is small and free to visit. The idea is to encourage more people to love aviation and the history that is attached to it. Tinker Air Force base is one of the largest military bases in the US. It is located in Oklahoma. All total, it is 5,000 acres in size. It is large enough to support two 10,000 foot runways. Approximately 15,000 civilians work there alongside 7,000 of the military’s finest.
