In 2023 the National Museum of the U.S. Air Force celebrates its 100th Anniversary as the world’s oldest and largest military aviation museum.
The museum will commemorate this major milestone anniversary with events and exhibits that celebrate its humble beginnings as a small engine study lab at McCook field, through its growth to more than 19 indoor acres housing more than 350 aerospace vehicles and missiles, and thousands of artifacts. The museum’s vast collection highlights the evolution of flight and the history and establishment of the U.S. Air Force as an independent service.
“Celebrating 100 years is a significant milestone in the history of any museum,” said National Museum of the U.S. Air Force Historian Doug Lantry. “The growth we have experienced over the last century is directly attributed to the Air Force’s wise commitment to preserving its heritage and the tremendous support we receive from our local, national and international communities. It’s going to be an exciting year as we celebrate in style with events and exhibits that will appeal to the whole family.”
Below are just a few of the scheduled events and exhibits planned as the museum celebrates 100 years. Additional events will be added throughout the year and all event details are subject to change. Details will be available on the museum’s website at https://www.nationalmuseum.af.mil/.
