If you’re looking for anything aviation, this is the place to go. From the outside, it doesn’t look like too much. On the inside, it is so much more. Waiting for you is for 4 hangers A beautifully maintained aircraft. As far as I’m concerned this is a must see you in the area. Dan was an extremely helpful volunteer and walked with me throughout the exhibits and hangers giving me tidbits of information that I appreciated. I’ll be back when I can spend even more time reading each plaque. Thank you!

Took my daughter here before the days of Covid and we had a blast! They have an incredible collection of aircraft! The service was very knowledgeable and answered all of our questions without fail! Absolutely amazing experience!

Fantastic experience for anyone who geeks out for anything related to air travel. Good price and a lot to see. An art gallery as well as 4 hangers plus an outside area of historical aircraft. Love it!

Great collection of aircraft. Well laid out and easy to take pictures. Volunteers are friendly and informative. An experience to remember.

Weve been wanting to visit this museum for a long time. Glad we finally did. An amazing collection of aircraft spread along 4 hangars. They have a beautiful P-51 that almost looks brand new. They do birthday parties for your little av-geeks. Nice gallery of paintings as well. Definitely the highlight of Addison.

Amazing collection with static and operational aircraft on display. 4 large hangars full of aircraft, along with outdoor displays. The maintenance hangar is open to the public, common to see their P-51 and A-1’s being worked on (engine cowlings removed.) 2 operational A-1’s, seeing one sitting between an F-86 and F-4 puts the size in perspective. Massive radial engine. What you see is only part of the collection, some of the larger operational aircraft are stored elsewhere. They usually bring those out for air shows. The spring 2019 show there was amazing. The original Crew Chief, Robert Schrader (US Army, Vietnam 63’-64’), of the dhc-4 C-7 Caribou was on hand to give tours of the aircraft and talk about his time serving in the early years of the Vietnam War.

Very nice museum with a variety of planes and jets from different eras. Of note they have an F-104 Starfighter and even an ME-109 (Not a Replica). Very happy i had the chance to visit.

My friend Keith and I went to the museum of course as be in close to 80 years old we thought was amazing looking back at the history and we recommend this to everybody especially children kids should go see this saying its history and they should understand history as a as a thing of learning

Large collection of world war I and world war II airplanes and helicopters from US, Russia and Germany. Ticket is only $12 per person for adults. You can easily spend 2-3 hours seeing the airplanes. The museum has a small gallery and gift shop as well. Unlike other gift shops, prices are very reasonable.You can also book a 1 hour flight in one of the airplanes. I have not tried it. The prices vary between $250 to $2000 per person depending on the airplane selected.

Nice selection of aircraft. The paint on the Yak, and the ME109, was just great.

I love the old planes and we had a volunteer walk with us from the beginning to the end. He told us the history of all the aircrafts there.

The staff are really nice i got to even hold a M50 50 Caliber from the Sherman Tank which is pretty cool and there is also a lot of planes i recommend all of you to visit.

I love military hardware and planes so I obviously enjoyed this. Four hangers of restored aircraft, many of which were specifically used in combat. The details for each one with its individual serial number are given on plaques. The veteran working as a volunteer was very helpful, answered tons of my questions, and knew so much about every piece on display. Highly recommend. I may go again if the opportunity arrises.

Love this place. Lots of interesting aircraft from WW1 all the way up to Vietnam war era and later. Many of them are still in flyable condition. It is not that expensive to get in and the times I have been, it has not been very crowded. Fun afternoon.

Great local museum. Kiddo loved the planes. Need to go again when he has the attention for the history lessons.

To see a history of aviation - military and otherwise - was amazing! My 16-year-old nephew thoroughly enjoyed the experience. To see and touch planes that actually flew missions during WWII was incredible!

Great planes, and lots of fun to speak with knowledgeable staff about them, especially some of the stories from people who flew these planes. Lots to see.

Amazing displays restored beautifully with extensive history of each. The gallery is an amazing walk through history. I highly recommend this place!

Expect it to be hot in the summer, there are several hangers to visit with lots of aircraft to see. The art section is in AC and theres a small seating area in AC as well. I love that the aircraft are in good condition with engines still present. No covers blocking your view (like most museums).

Great museum with a lot more airplanes than O anticipated. Will definitely look into volunteering.

This museum is awesome! Anyone that appreciates history and airplanes needs to visit! We went during the Warbirds Over Addison weekend and got to see visiting planes as well! You’re even able to schedule a ride in one of the Warbirds! The staff was all friendly and knowledgeable as well! Take the kids and make it a day!

Great display. Well presented and excellent information. How Aboot That was the best.

With over 50 military aircraft and half still flying the Cavanaugh Flight Museum is one of the premier warbird museums in the country. The best part is they offer rides every day but major holidays. Its a must visit for big kids and little ones.

Lots of fun for the whole family! We enjoyed the museum and all the terrific exhibits. The docents were enthusiastic, knowledgeable, and friendly. We were told about this museum by a docent at the Frontiers of Flight museum, and it was terrific! Its much smaller, but the exhibits are much more accessible and feel more vital. You can, for a admittedly large cost, actually FLY in some of the exhibits. The cost in scope with the prices of fuel, maintenance, and insurance are actually quite reasonable, but if you arent aware of those factors, it can be pretty surprising- dont get the kids hopes up, you DO have to be 18 years old to fly. Oh, and if youre a Pokemon Go player, there are plenty of stops within and around the museum, lol.

If youre asking me Go check them out. AWESOME museum full of make you want to fly planes. of course you can learn everything about the planes..Great family entertainment spot as well..

What a great venue for businesses hosting events, or general public use for aviation enthusiasts alike. They have some well kept machines and history there. I want to go back and spend more time there!

Good place to spend if you are an aviation lover, but its not too big. They do offer vintage aircraft rides

Great little museum. Lots of interesting aircraft from WW1 till the 70-80. Definitely worth a visit if around.

If you love airplanes or history or both! You are missing out on a hidden gem. This is a beautifulAnd lovingly taken care of group of proud warbirds.They have some rarities here, such as the ME-109 HE-111 and their Battle of Britain adversary, a Spitfire! There are too many planes to list here.If like me you like military warplanes from around the world, this will give you chills.

We had a conference dinner here (amongst the planes). Volunteer staff that gave us a tour were very nice

Perfect mix of history and intrigue for ages 6 to 56

Very nice museum. Beautiful condition aircraft...especially the P-51 and B-25!

Although slow to reply at first, it then more than exceeded my expectations in terms of friendliness of the staff, helpfulness to schedule a flight in their wonderful Stearman, the exhibits on site. It would be nice to be able to get closer to the airplanes, some are tucked away behind others and its really difficult to see anything significant then.

Its been a while since visiting this flight museum and its likely we (my grandkids and I) will try to go back this summer. Excellent display of vintage aircraft as well as other military gear. My grandson was thrilled to be allowed behind the ropes to closely inspect - and touch - a T34 tank that was being restored, and the workshop is certainly impressive. The fact there are so many restorations ongoing and that a significant number of aircraft are air-worthy highlights the commitment of a lot of contributors.

This is a wonderful museum, I went years back and keep meaning to go back. They have several planes hanging and displayed in the hangers and when I visited they had driven a tank out for everyone to walk up to and see up close. Highly recommend for anyone interested in planes.

Great time. Very educational and inexpensive. 4 hangers of planes and a few planes outside

Great museum to learn more about military flight history.

Nice place, I wish there is indoor plane ride, at least for taking photos

Fantastic Museum. 4 hangars and tons of fighter and bomber planes. Great sight for any enthusiast. Has placards for every plane with history and spec details.

This museum was so much fun for my boyfriend and I. There are four hangars full of WW1 and WW2 planes and detailed information for each one. Our guide, David, was very helpful and made the experience better all around. We got to see two of the planes there take off and an unofficial tour of Addison airport. We are coming back with his kids soon because it was so fun and enjoyable (and super affordable). Definitely recommend if you are in the area and want to see some pieces of history or just like to look at airplanes.

Awesome museum, first time seeing the B-25 with 75mm cannon, Mig-21 and the star of the show for me was the Yak-3

Has the history behind the equipment, pretty cool.

Very fun and awesome planes

Great museum! Works of art that still fly. Most beautiful P40 and P51 Ive ever seen!

Small but packed with the most impressive collection of several still flying war time air plane collection I have ever seen. Nothing like seeing a Mustang or a Course air start up and take flight right in front of you. I love this place, not to mention they have a very cool little car and art collection.

Fantastic collection of WW2 aircraft, the majority of which they keep operational and fully functioning. 4 hangars house these marvelous machines in addition to many parked around the grounds outside. The amount of care and restorative work that they put into their aircraft is top notch! The art gallery is just as impressive as the many displays in the hangars. Each time our family goes, we see something new. A marvelous preservation of history and a wonderful memorial to all those who put their lives on the line for us. A must see if you are ever in the area.

Had a good time visiting this place with my family. Staffs were so welcoming and helpful. We learned a lot and had a great experience. Will definitely go again :)

When i saw this in my maps i just had to check this place out. Im from Colorado and the air museum near me doesnt have the birds they have here. The legendary P-51, Me 109 and a Mitchell B-25. These were the birds i wanted to see and it has become a dream come true. As a teen Ive always loved reading about WWII air combat. Wishing i lived in one of these hangers.

Plenty to look at. Nice gift shop with inexpensive souvenirs for kids.

My boyfriend is so into airplanes, aeronautics and stuff like that. We had fun here. It was a really great and informational outing. We didnt go when tour guides were available (which is on weekends, I believe), but I think we had more fun going at our own pace. Will be back!

If you are interested in flight, this is the place. Plus they offer the opportunity to actually ride in a variety of aircraft.

Excellent displays of aircrafts related to wars during aviation era. Very educational for both children and adults alike

An excellent collection of aircraft, military memorabilia, and aviation art. My family has visited many times.

My sister and I really enjoyed visiting the museum today. Our docent Dave was full of information and gave us a great tour. Id definitely go back!

Really nice self guided museum. You can get right up close to the planes and helicopters. There are 4 indoor hangars and one outside section. I highly recommend going! I could easily spend 1-2 hours there, if not more.

Amazing!! So many planes to check out from all branches of the military!!

It shows the great aviation history of the region. My son loved being up close with the planes.

Love the history. Great little museum you can take your time in

Amazing collection, must see.

Very nice collection. Ive never seen a HE111 in real life. Or a Tri wing Fokker. If you like Warbirds its a must see.

Good visit, low on things to see but worth the stop.

Im definitely coming back here again. And I dont even live in Dallas. They even offer rides in multiple planes!

This is a fantastic place for everyone from airplane buffs to anyone generally interested in seeing some cool machines up close. It was easy to find and parking was readily available right next to the entrance. The layout is very efficient so there is not much walking.

The good place to learn about the world war planes

Excellent selection of classic military trainer and combat aircraft. Very helpful service. I also love how they restore and maintain all of the aircraft that they have there in an effort to preserve U.S. and World Aviation history. The prices to enter are very fair for all the cool stuff you get to see and they even offer a discount for military. All around would recommend to any history or aviation buff.

Although I have been here several times, this time my kids bought me a ride in a T-6 for Christmas. I literally cannot say enough good about these guys. The experience was nothing short of amazing. The crew went well out of their way to make it a terrific experience, reassuring my wife that I would make it back alive, explaining the process and history of the aircraft, and showing general hospitality that was above and beyond. My pilot also went above and beyond to make my experience fun. He did an amazing job of piloting the aircraft while tending to my experience as well. Top notch piloting! As for the facility and displays, the place is immaculate. The displays are clean and well arranged and it is really noteworthy how nice the aircraft look. A good variety of types that offer a highlight of military aviation. Well done guys, well done.

Amazing place to visit for flight enthusiasts.

Cavanaugh is great! I strongly encourage everyone to visit. They offer rides in many historic aircraft. The guy who does them on Sundays, when I was there, is great.

An excellent resource for aircraft enthusiasts. Planes from WW1, WW2, Korea and Vietnam; western Allies and Axis,Soviet bloc. Perfectly restored and displayed. The placards give a detailed history of the model, and in some cases the combat history of that specimen. Worth another visit.

Love spending time here!

This musuem is amazing.Museum has collection of several still flying war time air plane .And the entry ticket is also not expensive.

Great place to see vintage fighter planes and memorabilia. Hats off to corporate chopper pilot Eric for sharing his time with us explaining helicopter controls.

The museum is great... but they are not very good with their customer service. I wanted to have my wedding there and I called several times, send emails and even showed up there to try to talk so somebody, left my contact info with the person on the counter. All this was within the last 4 weeks and this is the time that I havent received any information from them...if they are like this to get business, I cant imagine how they would actually be once you hire them. Not worth the headache for my wedding.

This museum was a large part of my childhood. It was amazing to grow up getting to see these historic warbirds (some of which have been used in famous movies such as The Battle of Britain and Tora Tora Tora).

Husband and son in law were happy with the variety of planes.

My 10 yr old nephew loved this place. Great collection of War planes from the 20th century. The volunteer staff were amazing, thanks David and Douglas, you made my nephews day!

O love this place!

We had an awesome time! I highly recommend it! Great for adults and kids!

Great American aviation heritage. If you have knowledge about aviation then you will really enjoy the museum. Museum provides aircraft restoration, operates and maintains flying aircraft collections.It has collection of war planes of various wars

Lots of very nice pieces in the collection. Worth a visit for aviation buffs.

Despite the small overall size, this museum still features a fascinating variety of exhibits. The interior aircraft are visually pristine and many are still functional. The descriptions in particular are very detailed and well written. This compensated for the lack of official guides during my visit.

I LOVE the planes, wow I love them. I wish the Cavanaugh Flight Museum had more people interested in it or was in a more high traffics area. It seems like it could benefit from some modernizatio of its lobby areas and gift shop, but all around a wonderful and beautiful tribute to the history of modern aviation.

Great history and authentic flying experience!

I just love this place! Highly recommend to visit

One of the best airplane museums Ive seen.

Awesome place to see history and introduce our young ones to the world of aviation.

Thanks for letting me have a close up look of the UH34

Absolutely a must see.such a great place to visit.the folks are doing a great job.

Took my 9 yr old son to the museum. Hes as much a history buff as I am so he thoroughly enjoyed our visit. Its a little smaller than the Frontiers of Flight museum in Dallas, but it does offer more military aircraft. We enjoyed our tour and took several photos to record our visit as one of the summer activities we enjoyed together. Id recommend a visit to the museum if you enjoy learning about history and your looking for something to do without spending too much time or money. Also be sure to spend some time in the art gallery, as that is a unique display that isnt readily available at other more high profile museums (i.e. Smithsonian). One thing I do recommend, especially if you arent local to DFW, is that in the summer plan your visit in the morning as much of the displays are outside, so the Texas summer heat can be miserable for out of state visitors.

We went to the flight muesum with a friend while he did his acrobatic plane ride. Everything from the staff, the hangers, the planes, were awesome! David was our tour guide while our friend was in the air, and he did an amazing job! Answered all our questions, took us on a tour of Addison Airport and even let us take a quick fun picture in the helicopter! I will definitely be back and will refer for friend and family in the future. Such a nice treat!

Interesting place . Every ship has its history.

Good collection and reasonable entry price.

Great planes. Really enjoyed the trip.

Ive been to the Cavanaugh several times, and is always great. You could spend hours here looking at the details or just brows through at your own pace. A lot of cool and historic aircraft, parts, and memorabilia to see.

Really cool place to take the kids. Many hangers to walk through and see a lot of different types of planes and other vehicles from different parts of history. They also have a nice art museum in the main building. They offer rides in some of the planes for a cost ofcourse and they also do private parties for birthdays. My two daughters really enjoyed the museum and they got to see a plan being worked on while it was running and the wings being folded up. Good times well spent.

Fabulous collection of Warbirds and History

This place is a must do for anyone interested in aircraft.Ive been several times and simply love their static displays and the events they put on several times a year.

Great museum with flying condition aircraft.

Amazing collection, and gorgeous War birds in flying condition :)

Amazing learning experience for all ages. Some the most well kept airplanes I have ever seen.
