Dedicated to the preservation in flying condition of the great war planes that dominated the skies of World War II. The Confederate Air Force Museum at Falcon Field is home to the authentically restored World War II B-17 bomber, "Sentimental Journey." Out of the 12,731 B-17s built during WWII, there are about 13 left flyable and approximately eight flying in the United States. In addition to "Sentimental Journey" the CAF Museum also maintains a B-25 Mitchell bomber, SNJ, C-45, and a Grumman Guardian.
I went to the Commemorative Air Force Arizona Wing Aviation Museum in April 2013. It was two buildings with outdoor displays. One building was a maintenance building where planes were being rebuilt. The highlight of my visit was the B-17 "Sentimental Journey" that you can walk thru the inside. The B-17 is functional and rides can be purchased.
