Yankee Air Museum in Ann Arbor

Kids loved it not a whole day event or anything but for the low cost and not super long its perfect for the kids and adults and u can touch almost everything...I recommend everyone come check the place out

Limited Wings and Wheels show in extension (which made it a bit crowdedand scope was a bit disappointing considering the hefty admission ticket prices ($25/person).

Great place for a plane historian like me. Impressive displays and friendly knowledgeable people on hand to answer and all of your questions. Kid interactive displays too.

Nice little tour, lots of history, staff is very knowledgeable. That being said the building is small and not air conditioned good thing is its open year round so better to go on cooler days.

Took my son for his 15th birthday and we had a great time. There were people that were loaded with knowledge in the museum that actually would talk to us about each plane and answered all of our questions.

What an excellent visit! We went to see our fathers WWII experience B-17 and were not disappointed. The docent was informative, intelligent, professional, patient in answering questions. We totally enjoyed our visit.

Great museum. They have a blue angle and thunderbird planes on display. They also a few other great planes and helicopter. If you served in the Vietnam War they a wall to sign and leave your nark on history.

We made a two hour trip to drop off family at DTW and saw the signs on the way back and decided to make an impromptu visit. When we walked in we found out they had JUST closed for the day. The staff asked us how far away we are from there and upon telling them, they offered to give us a quick tour so we didn’t completely miss out. The two people we talked with were so knowledgeable about everything in there and didn’t make us feel at all rushed even though they were taking extra time out of their day to show everything to us. There is SO much to see there and everything is so well put together! Had a great time and will most definitely be going back again (this time we’ll make sure it’s when they’re still open 😆)

A great experience with lots of history! Theyre people thatll tell you different stories about the things there along with plenty of information.

Was a Great Experience would highly reccomend.

Great museum! Tours were offered upon entrance. Many beautiful war birds from different eras. Tour guide was friendly and knowledgeable. Only down side was that none of the flyable aircraft were there or even present. Even if they had been present they wouldnt have been housed in the same facility. However we were told that the museum would be moving to a new home shortly and this situation would be remedied.

Great people helping to share the story of making the B- 24 Liberator. Remarkable Dauntless dive bomber relic recovered from Lake Michigan

Experience aerial defense of American freedom. Thunder Over Michigan is fun, checking out aircraft on the ground, watching aircraft perform low, fast, and LOUD. The best was flying a historic B-25, a key aircraft against Japan and other WWII adversaries. Aim High!

One of my favorite places on the planet. The setting of Willow Runs rich history as a place not only of significance during WW II, but of social significance along with the collection of static aircraft and flyable aircraft that make beautiful noise are the complete aviation and historical package for inspiration for all generations. They are also dedicated to improving their role and vision with programs for all ages. The staff is also always accommodating and informative as well as fully invested in the museums mission.

The Yankee Air Musem is a deceptively small appearing museum building packed with history best not forgotten. Beyond the museum proper they have flying aircraft offering heritage flights and airshows in the summer.

Took a flight in their C47 last year. Amazing experience. Staff and flight crew were awesome and had a lot of experiences to talk about. Any event that the Yankee Air Museum is at is absolutely worth attending.

The Yankee Air Museum is a must see, must experience destination for anyone who loves military history, especially aircraft. Going for a ride in one of the planes is quite an experience. Thunder Over Michigan is a first class air show! Don’t miss it!

Yankee Air Museum is a fantastic place for all ages! Even if youve been there before, you learn something new each time you go. New exhibits happening and being rearranged all the time.Have an Original Rosie or World War II veteran in your family? Make arrangements with Yankee Air Museum to have them interviewed via video and tape recording of their WWII remembrances!.Check out the website.if you want to volunteer or join the Rosies or be on the drill team, there is a place on the website for all that ... or to sign up to ride historic planes, donate money, buy event tickets or learn more about the museum!

Fly in the plane! It’s worth every penny having an Idea of what it was like to be in WW2. I can only imagine the bravery the men had to keep going back flight after flight. We have an easy life compared to “The Greatest Generation”.

Yankee Air Museum offers a rare chance to experience aviation history through the museum itself, but also through a multitude of special events. Its historic location enhances the experience! Not to be missed!

Unforgettable experience flying in the B-25. Memories to last a lifetime. The entire staff and flight crew were so friendly and knowledgeable. It’s amazing what these people are doing to keep our aviation history alive and accessible for new generations of Americans.

This is an amazing museum! The artifact are second to none and the staff is very friendly. Your whole family will enjoy the experience. I am glad that they continue the Thunder Over Michigan Air Show!

The museum is fantastic. Their Air Adventures are amazing. I flew in the B-25 at one of the Thunder Over Michigan airshows a few years back and it was incredible. I highly recommend visiting the museum and taking a flight!

A GREAT place to start traditions with your family! Yankee has something for everyone!!! Its so nice to have such a treasure right here in our home town!

This was a truly exceptional experience. I am so glad we got the opportunity to attend the air show - don’t hesitate if you are thinking of attending. It willl blow you away. The staff and volunteers at the museum are top notch. Knowledge, friendly and super helpful. I love that the museum honors our history of flight and is a piece of that history as well. Bought our son a ride on the B-17 Bomber for his birthday this year, it will be end of June. Can’t wait to see how that goes. Dream come true for him. Thank you Yankee Air Museum.

My son and I flew aboard the museum’s C-47, “Hairless Joe,” at World War II Weekend in Reading, PA. It was a great experience, with friendly staff and a thoroughly enjoyable flight. This was our first ride in a C-47, which was even more special because my grandfather flew R4Ds in the Pacific during WWII. My daughter can’t wait to be old enough to go up, because I promised that I’d take her on the next flight. Highly recommended!

Attended Thunder Over Michigan in 2019 when they had 11 flying corsairs! Amazing airshow, hope to attend again some day. Museum looks great as well. If you like airshows put this one on your list!

I bought my 78 year old father rides on the B17 and B25 for Fathers day. I couldnt get over the silly grin on his face when he got off.Really cool museum with volunteers that love being there.

Great aircraft restorations. Staff is knowledgeable and give you much personal interaction. Museum provides a good slice of Michigan’s history in aircraft production and much more!

The Yankee Air Museum is a treasure for the Great Lakes region. You will be rewarded by attending the events it offers.One flight in the restored aircraft is the equivalent of reading a hundred books on aviation. The safety of the air operations are second to none. A wonderful way to introduce your kids to the real thing.

Incredible collection of aircraft at a spacious indoor setting highlighted by welcoming, friendly, knowledgeable staff. Adjacent aircraft easily accessed outdoors. Also sponsors airplane flights (even a WWII B-17!and an air show”Thunder over Michigan “ where I viewed both the Blue Angels & Thunderbirds in one perfect day. As a student of military history it’s an incredible experience and I can’t recommend it enough.

One of the best aviation museums. Great staff. Well-kept facilities. Great airshows every summer!

Why I haven’t been here before is a mystery.Just outside of Willow Run airport ( Belleville, MIoff a small side road is one of the most fascinating, nostalgic and historically significant museums in the US, in my opinionRivaled of course by the larger Smithsonians etcThe Yankee Air Museum allows you to get incredibly close to some of the greatest war fighting planes from the past 100 years of aviation.Michigan holds a distinct honor in that it played a vital role in the success of World War II.Our automobile factories were converted into plane and ammo and parts factories to help win the war.The brave men and women who both took to the skies or stayed grounded in support are on display here for all to see and interact with.From the now iconic strong women who grew to fame as “ Rosie the Riveter’s”, (stop complaining about you job lolto the brave Tuskegee Air Men ( The Red Tails), you are afforded a glimpse back in history both the good side and the bad.Being able to stand under the immense wing of Viet Nam era Phantom jet while learning about the daring exploits of the pilots, truly stirs the heart.To touch the wingtip of an F4 Flown by the famous Navy Blue Angels or the Air Forces Fabulous Thunderbirds , makes me feel like a kid again.This is very much an interactive museum and one for children to explore. It’s both fantastical and educational and there were volunteers on hand to offer tours or answer any questions.Highly recommend!

It was amazing to have a chance to see a such good variety of military aircraft up close and personal. The collection also included a lot of interesting related items, from a mammoth radial engine, to the once top secret Norden bomb sight. The docents were both friendly and very knowledgeable about the collection. Also, if you havent visited in awhile, be aware that the aircraft on display do change from time to time, both because their collection is now too large to display all at once, and because they are also continuing to restore new aircraft.

Yankee Air Museum is a delightful experience. I particularly enjoyed reading about Rosie the Riveter and the amazing effort to churn out the B-24 bombers. The Yankee Air Museum is an absolute must visit if you visit Michigan.

Amazing staff and very friendly service. Great for a trip with kids.

Awesome history of airplanes. The staff is excellent and very knowledgeable!

The Yankee Air Museum at the Willow Run Airport is an interesting piece of History well worth checking out. They also offer plane and helicopter rides. Their website most likely has the dates posted for their Rides and Events.

Nice museum about military aviation history. Kids loved the cockpit interactive display! You can walk it alone or have a guide walk you through. They are very knowledgeable.

Great collection of planes, combined with passionate volunteers sharing the history of the site, the area and the individual artifacts they have. It is on the site where Ford built the production line for B-24 bombers and Rosie the Riveter was born

Had a great time with the kids ages 8-3. The staff was wonderful, have us fun information on some of the exhibits my kids showed interest in and left us alone when it was clear my kids wanted to explore. These guys were great, even helped my youngest in and out of a cockpit he was way too small for.

Fun place to learn local MI history. You can spend an hour here or 6, so much to read. Interactive things for kids, films, and more.

This is where the bombers my father and his brothers flew in WW2 where made. My mothers 100 in March 22 and making a pilgrimage to the the hanger was good. The staff so friendly and informative.

Nothing dusty here! The Veterans and civilians who guide the tours have a deep love and respect for these aircraft and the valiant men and women who flew them.

Definitely worth the very inexpensive charge. Paid like 40 for all 4 of , and got to fly a jet simulation. The Planes were amazing

A lot of history from the B-24 Bomber plant during WW2. There are old planes you can fly from the War which there only a handful left that fly in the World of certain ones period & the museum itself is interesting.

This is a great museum for families looking to to spend a fun time with each other and get out of the house! Masks are required the gift shop is nice with lots of souvenirs, books, and toys for purchase. They have a few exhibits where guests can sit insider the cockpit and play with knobs and switches. The have a flight simulator and hands on learning area for kids. We had a great time!

I spend a great time visiting this museum, it is small but has a lot of pieces in exhibition. The volunteer personal is very friendly and always willing to give you an explanation.

Staff is friendly. Museum is very interesting.However very tiny. Not much to do.Probably more like 2h max museum.I wonder if it will become better with the planned improvements.The shop is very pricey, but it definitely help the museum to survive.

For a small museum it was great. Whats even better yet they will be moving into part of old Ford B-24 manufacturing plant, of World War II, in the future. My kids and I loved it. It is the worth stop. They even have free posters, which I gave a donation for. And the volunteers and staff are very friendly. One of the volunteers gave us a personal tour of museum.
