MAM is a superb collection of over 50 warbirds, from multiple countries, from both World Wars and into the Korean War. In addition to this extensive collection, most in a flying status aviation enthusiast will appreciate the vintage aircraft hangars, a British B-17 control tower, and a growing collection of artifacts. Because of the museum’s remote location, we will offer a pre-purchased Subway lunch option.
Lunch will consist of a 6 inch (~15 cm) sub sandwich (Turkey, Ham, Cold Cut Combo, Tuna), chips, cookie and water. Price is $15.00. If you prefer, you may “brown bag it” and bring your own lunch.
Price: $50, including admission and round-trip bus transportation.
Add $15.00 if you want your choice of Subway sandwich
