Cold War Aircraft

As the Cold War era becomes more distant, the aircraft that served in those tense times are retired from service. Our collection of military Cold War Aircraft complements the Post World War Two Aircraft collection and shows the rapidly advancing technology of the jet and turbine era. Several aircraft are kept in running, taxiing condition and often participate in our Thunder Days events where visitors can see and hear the roar of turbo jet engines once more.
