Awesome experience especially for the kiddos! Got to see WWII planes that still fly today, and even got a close up behind the scenes look at some of the planes because their owners were there. We were extremely grateful that the owners were passionate about their planes that they took the time to tell their stories. Great experience and will definitely go back!

Really cool aircraft museum. A majority of their aircraft actually still fly and are airworthy, including a DC-3 and one of the last remaining B-29s still flying. Its nice to see a bit of history so well maintained, like going back in time.

Wow, without a doubt one of the coolest places to go if youre a fan of older military aircraft. The kids loved it, and normally we avoid the gift shop but the guys working in there were so helpful and full of knowledge it was a pleasure to visit, even if the kids tried to buy the place out. Bravo fellas!

Wonderful non-profit that is passionate about keeping history and aviation alive for all generations. Countless volunteering activities for all ages. It has really allowed me to learn and dig into my aviation interests and allowed me to work on pieces of history. Would recommend visiting during a ride day.

Nice place to visit and browse for only $10. A few airplanes you can look at. Some in the process of restoration. A really nice collection of engines. Also a cockpit that you can climb in and play with. Lots of memorabilia and pictures. The gift shop is nice too. A lot of fun for only $10.

This is a great place for families to visit. We really enjoyed hearing the stories from the workers. It was like having a private tour guide.

A great museum with a lot if great historic aircraft. We look forward to their events all year long.

As they explain, this is not an aviation museum but a flying museum, meaning that the whole intent is to make these vintage aircraft really fly. As they raise the funds, they buy the parts. Parts are sometimes hard to find. And manufacturers tend to shy away from making new parts (liability issues). So it it is a noble and grand effort to bring history to life. Your visit helps them. You wont go away disappointed. There are multiple levels of involvement available to you on an ongoing basis. Feel free to join the effort!

I had a truly awesome experience visiting this museum. Its a wonderful facility, everyone is outgoing and very informative in regards to these aircraft. I now feel cheated on behalf of my 9-18 year old self, primarily due to the fact that I never had never heard of, let alone, visited this place when I was younger. I mean, isnt it the mission of FWISD to find ways to inspire the next generation? Places like this are the solution to that problem. I wouldve been head over heels with this place in my elementary and middle school days.It is a nostalgic, intimate, warts-and-all exhibit of amazing aircraft, from the seemingly ordinary Skymaster Observation bird, to the jaw-dropping Fi-Fi, the Boeing B-29 Superfortress Heavy Bomber. So glad my girlfriend and I chose this as an adventure today. Theyre always looking for volunteers, so if you know anyone in the mindset of air aficionados, let them know!

They have some really cool old aircraft. i wish were could have see n the inside of most of them. thats were you really travel through time.

Theres a small museum, but the main hangar is more like a restoration shop. A number of historic warplanes are in the process of being restored and you can see exactly how much mess and labor it really takes to keep these aircraft running. The volunteers are very knowledgeable and seem eager to talk about the airplanes and their work there.

Pretty interesting place. My son loves planes so I took him here. I have no interest really but ended up enjoying the visit.

They have so many planes. My son who is a toddler loved it.

Nice working/flying museum. Not a big collection of aircraft, but some very neat ones just the same. Very friendly, knowledgable staff.

It is a great flying museum. They have a number of vintage aircraft that get my creative juices flowing! I love it and hope to fly in one, someday.

Pretty interesting place to visit.

Great place with friendly folks and cool planes.

This a nice (work in progress) museum. It has a lot of history, the staff is super friendly, knowledgeable and they love what they do which makes your visit even nicer. Its a nice stop in town that will not take too much of your time.

Best air museum in DFW, they ALL fly.

This place is so amazing! It is well worth visiting over and over.

We - my grandkids and I - visited a couple of years ago. As we approached, it looked a lot smaller than the Cavanaugh Air Museum in Addison but it actually turned out to be bigger than we expected. On weekdays it doesnt seem to get much traffic so we had excellent access. The kids got to sit in the pilot seats of an A-3 Skywarrior which was very unexpected, so this turned out to be a much more intimate experience.In the workshop, a mechanic interrupted his work to show us around including climbing up a mobile ramp to inspect the cockpit of a B-26 that was being restored and standing in the bomb-bay of another B-26 as the gentleman explained the various components. Disarmed bombs were on touchable display and the kids got a huge kick out of that.Despite our initial concerns as we approached, the Vintage Flying Museum turned out to a very substantial warehouse of historic aircraft and also home to a bunch of very enthusiastic, instructive, nice people.

Best thing is to talk with the crew,, they know a lot about the planess stories..!!

It was very educational for me and my classmates

History is important and this museum has such a great and unique collection of such an important and incredible time in our history. It is a story that simply must not be overlooked or forgotten

Great museum and wonderfull people. Its normally open during the weekends. It has a great fleet off vintage WW2 flying bombers. They also organize local pleasure flights onboard their twin engine Douglas DC-3.

Awesome place. The 40s ball was so much fun at this location.

I had a blast

Many actively flying old aircraft

A great place to visit and learn about military aviation history from the veterans themselves!

Fun fun place, the kids will have a blast

The A 26 and the C 47 and the EA ? Were great war birds and fine examples. But needs many more aircraft to make it more enjoyable. Thank you

Dedicated knowledgable staff, wide range of static aircraft under reconstruction &/or maintenance.

Great little museum with interesting displays and great volunteer docents.

Inspiring, and incredibly moving. Very knowledgeable people showing respect to those that came and fought before them.

Friendly staff and you can get up close to the aircraft. Clearly an active collection based on the maintenance work being done.

I really wish I could have enjoyed this more. The man up who takes the money followed us everywhere we went & talked our ear off. Super annoying. There was so much to see & learn about, but we were unable to do anything. We ended up leaving right after we got there because he just wouldnt go away.

Exceptional museum. Love the hands on experience. Met several crews doing winter maintenance on the vintage aircraft. They are having a fly along in March 2019. Check it out.

This place is awesome! We went to their annual hangar dance and took a ride in their c47. That was one of the coolest things Ive ever done. Highly recommended.

Great old airplanes and very nice people. What I especially like is that they keep everything in flying condition. They also have frequent talks by various aviation people on a variety of subjects. The one I went to was about the SR71 by two of the pilots that flew it.

The dancing was awesome, the planes were vintage and the band was on fire.

This place is such a hidden gem! They have hangars full of vintage aircraft and engines, and staff to answer all of your questions! The people are genuinely helpful and jazzed about what they do. It was my absolute favorite part of my Ft Worth trip.

It had really cool war planes that still fly and can ride on them around fort worth

I stop at every aircraft museum I can. This is the first one where I got to see the garage with mechanics turning wrenches

I love this place. It is a working museum so many the planes are being worked on while you visit. It holds many rare WWII aircraft. The owner, Chuckie, is amazing. She loves her museum and it shows. It is well worth your time.

Great place to check out some vintage aircraft. Its got less of a museum feel to it, as its a big hangar you can walk around in. Friendly, knowledgeable staff as well.

Excellent working museum. The inside museum part is very nice and the cost is reasonable. When youre done touring the inside, you enter the hangar space. They have several airplanes on static display, but also house a few flying airplanes as well, focusing on the WWII time-frame. It was really neat to see them actually working on airplanes (especially the engines on workstands).

I had the ride of a lifetime in the B-24 Diamond Lil ! Thanks to the entire crew and staff for helping me make an awesome memory. (Ret) TSgt Randy Baldwin, USAF, B-52 D/H DCC, 81-05

Too cool

Great collection of vintage planes.

Interested in the old rotery engine, they have plenty of them. Talk to the mechanic working on the planes.

Great hands on indoor aircraft museum, well worth the trip.Has one of two flying B-29s, FIFI, indoors!

Beautiful planes and knowledgable staff. The lady that runs the museum, I believe shes an owner, is so sweet shes welcoming. She knows so much about planes and the area.

Fantastic experience. Its a small museum, but if you receive a tour from one the volunteers your experience will be incredible. All the employees are very nice and friendly and knowledgeable. You pay a small fee for a great experience. Definitely recommend this museum to anyone interested in history and planes.

The Vintage Flying Museum is a wonderful museum run by a staff of all volunteers. In fact, it is such a well run museum that the Commemorative Air force decided to make it the home of the famous B-29 Fifi, B-24, and the A-26. I have taken many tours here including taking my students on a class field trip. There is so much passion from the volunteers that you cant help but to get wrapped up in everything going on around you. I highly recommend visiting this museum and taking in all it has to offer.Please do not believe the bad review written previously on the forum. From my many experiences, it is a very well run museum lead by Chuckie, who is one of the most passionate and respected ladies in aviation. She will be proud to tell you about all the hard work and sacrifices it took to make the museum possible.

Plane from the past,Will, Korean war, Vietnam conflict, and theyre trying to add more. The new rose garden for Rosie the riveter girls, built B-14 world war II era.

I love going to this museum. The permanent collection is lovely and always nice to look at. The traveling collections are always awesome. The museum has programs/activities available during the summer for kids and adults. The best part about the museum is that it is free to the community to experience all types of art and subjects

This is a rare place that affords you the opportunity to get up close and personal with historic aircraft. You get to see them fly which is very rare. You can watch maintenance crew do the very important work! It is great inspiration for children and adult alike. It is a true restoration facility.

It is a nice place to visit with your family.

We had a great time and the heritage flight we took on a WWII airplane was awesome!

Awesome place , a passion of love to keep older aircraft still flying.

Visited for the first time today. Interesting place with informal atmosphere. I would recommend to airplane buffs.

Amazing place! Great and friendly people plus everpresent MAGIC in the machines. Keep them flying!

There was seven vintage aircraft including the ones hanging from the ceiling when we visited here. Its a fair little museum. We went there to donate some information on one of the large warbirds they have there. It happened to be the B-52 bomber.Theres a lot of people working in this place. Theres also a lot of models of airplanes at this location.

Go take a look they got some pretty cool stuff there ask for Bob

For aviation history, this place is it for the DFW area.

Stunning collection of flying aviation artifacts!

Awesome, great to be up close in a working hanger!

Fantastic experience!

Very interesting WWII PLANES and all still fly

A nice little Museum of World War II an early jet age aircraft

Every time I take the kids we see something new... Support their great works.

Dont go near this place. I was their #1 tenant for three years from Feb 1 2010 to Nov 1 2012, and had more than 70 parts stolen, including rudders, elevators, ailerons, tires, cockpit instruments, rare WWII parts, and much, much more, worth hundreds of thousands of dollars, some if not all by other tenant Jim Terry of Greatest Generation Aircraft. I informed owner Chuckie of this and she said she did not care one bit about this. Instead she kicked me out, seemingly to avoid bad publicity, and told the volunteers lies about me. The website says they have a C-47 when they have no such thing. The photo of an A-10 is a lie. Call it the Villain Flying Museum. It is the most corrupt place in which I have ever set foot.

I got there about 45 minutes before the place open but the guy told me I could go walk around the hangers and look and take pictures

Vintage Flying Museum is one of a klnd! It is a working hangar with a variety of aircraft on display. Great collection of aircraft including the CAFs B-29 Fifi and the B-24 Diamond Lil. The Big Band Hangar dance in October cant be missed!

Nice place to visit with people that work on and love old planes

Home to one of the only two flying B-29s amazing.

Great airplanes, nice people, well worth the visit

Vintage Flying Museum is a working museum in accordance with the wishes of Bill and Chuckie Hospers, the founders. I have been involved with the Museum from the beginning, many many years ago. This man Washburn needs some sort of grudge to bear in the world. He has even taken on the New York City Fire Department in a similar way as he rants about VFM.The volunteers and directors are all honest and straightforward people with no other interest than that of preserving and FLYING vintage aircraft.What airplanes are in the hanger at any given time is variable, because they FLY. At the moment, the only flying B-29 and one of 2 flying B-24s are there. Next week, they may not be.Do visit the museum. You will find the volunteers friendly and most willing to spend time with visitors. See the exhibits, see the airplanes from the inside, visit the gift shop.If possible attend the annual Hanger Dance. It is always wonderful, with a 40s style big band, and dancing in front of WW-II aircraft. Wear period clothing if you have it. Even if you dont dance come anyway and watch the incredible Swing Dancers from the area put on magnificent exhibitions.Welcome to Vintage Flying Museum.Michael C. Coup, director

Unmatched aviation experience!

Awesome museum! Great to see the restoration and maintenance up close and personal!

Excellent staff and aircraft that played an important role in American growth and Aviation!

Really cool planes and a friendly staff make this a great educational experience.

The museum has many items from the previous wars on display but the real excitement for me is to see the aircraft in the hanger!

Loved getting to walk around the old planes

Amazing place , greate exhibits, friendly people .

Very good local museum of flight!

Had a good time doing a tour, thank you sheila.

Very messy hangar. Very disorganized and needing lots of work to call itself a museum. More like a very disorganized FBO. It would be interesting to see what an FAA Part 145 audit would find.

Great local museum where everything flies!

A piece of history in every plane! You can actually board some of the planes in the hanger as well!

One of the only B-29s and B-24s that can fly

This is the home of Fifi the b29. Guys are actually working on planes, very interactive and admission is free

So much history!

Every time I go to the Vintage Flying Museum there is something new going on. Since this is a functional maintenance hangar you can speak to the the people working on the aircraft and learn about what goes in to the restoration and maintenance of an airworthy vintage airframe.

Lots of rare aircraft on display.

Hidden a aviation treasure

Really interesting and educational

I love this place, so much history

Very cool place.

Nice place
