Museum of Aviation

On our way to the annual Florida Freewheelers Bicycle Safari, we stopped in Macon, Georgia to visit the Museum of Aviation, Flight and Technology Center, located at the Warner Robins Air Force Base.


Robins Air Force Base has the second largest museum in the United States Air Force. The museum displays 93 aircraft on a 51 acre site.



Four buildings surround the ampitheater: The Eagle Building, Hangar One, The Heritage Building and The Century of Flight Hangar. A World War II Hangar is under construction. Later in the morning, a group of students 'test fired' their rockets from the launch pad in front of the ampitheater.






We were most interested in the replica of the 1912 Epps monoplane. No mention was made of Orville and Wilber...




Also of interest was the steam aviation engine.










The price was right and there were a lot of interesting displays.
