Castle Air Museum Plans Special Event

Castle Air Museum opened in 1981 to pay tribute to the significant role military aviation has played in the defense of the free world.

Today the Atwater, Calif. Museum has evolved into an exciting destination for families, history buffs and aviation enthusiasts, for anyone who wants an educational and entertaining stroll through the past.

Currently there are 53 restored aircraft on the Museum grounds which encompass flying history from WW II to the present. The Museum boasts a varied collection of grand old war birds.

We also have Cold War aircraft including an SR-71, up to the more recent F-14 and F-15. Several other Cold War aircraft, including an RF-8 and an RA-3B will soon join the collection.

Our Open Cockpit Day this Fall on Sunday, Sept. 5, will be a great fund raising event for the Museum. We will have approximately 25 of our airplanes open for viewing as well as having crew members with each plane to answer questions.

Many of our volunteers served with these planes during WW II and other eras, and have many interesting and educational stories. This Fall we will also have the   Marine Corps Hummer and many children’s activities.

Please join us for this wonderful event.

The museum gift shop will also be open during this event. Castle Air Museum is a non-profit foundation which relies upon volunteers, members, visitors, and special events to manage the huge task of maintaining the grounds and aircraft.

We work very hard to make the special events a wonderful family outing for our visitors. Each of them presents visitors with an interesting variety of activities as well as the privilege of spending time with history.
