The
Combat Air Museum has served as an educational institution and tourism destination for more than thirty years. It is one of a handful of major aviation museums in the United States located on an active air field. Visitors to our museum are regularly treated to flying activities of Air Force fighter aircraft and Army helicopter operations. With the second longest runway in the State of Kansas, large refueling tanker aircraft of the Air National Guard and army troop transports often fill the skies around the Museum. The Museum's youth classes offer students a unique opportunity to be immersed in the midst of a museum covering aviation history from the earliest days of flight to the present day.
Located at Forbes Field in Topeka, Kansas, the Combat Air Museum is a non-profit institution dedicated to the creation
of facilities and resources for the education of the local and regional
communities through the collection, preservation, conservation and
exhibition
of aircraft, information, artifacts, technology and art associated with
the military aviation history of the United States of America.
On
exhibit at the museum:
- 32 aircraft
ranging from the WWI period to the present day
- Aircraft
engines of many sizes and types
- An extensive
display of artifacts and dioramas and a growing gallery of military
aviation art
