Flying Heritage & Combat Armor Museum (FHCAM) is home to a rare collection of vintage military aircraft, tanks, combat armor and other technologies. Nearly every plane and piece of armor on display is restored and maintained to the highest standards. In fact, most of our artifacts are in working condition.
Maintaining a vintage operational collection is painstaking work! Our mechanics are subject matter experts and masters of their craft. They have expertise in a wide variety of foreign and domestic aircraft, vehicles, and machinery that is generations old, coupled with the skill to perform the work, which often involves fabricating parts from scratch. They perform their work out on the museum floor, so it’s common for guests to see them actively engaged in a project.
Nothing compares to hearing the Hellcat’s engine start up, watching the Sherman Tank roar around the track, or feeling the percussive blast from the 88 Flak Gun firing blanks. We hope you will join us and partake in the vibrant, living history that we offer!
General Admission tickets are valid during normal operating hours and include access to the published schedule of activities offered at FHCAM. Docent tours can also be arranged at no additional cost.
All tickets are single-use and are verified upon entry. Passes are non-transferable. Depending on the type of ticket or pass, ID may be required with entry.

We strive to make the FHCAM experience second-to-none! When you step foot in our facility you will be met with exceptional hospitality as you are welcomed by our Guest Services Team. They are happy to answer your questions or connect you with one of our knowledgable volunteer docents, stationed throughout each hangar. Prefer a formal docent tour? They can be requested on-the-spot or scheduled in advance of your visit. If you would like a tour focused on a specific topic area, we recommend scheduling in advance so that we can ensure a docent with expertise in this topic area is available.
Nothing brings history alive more than engaging with it directly! We offer a variety of curated experiences which provide guests with unique, up-close or hands-on opportunities to explore our artifacts. A few of these experiences are outlined below to provide an idea of these offerings.
