It's small but so breathtaking. It's pretty impacting to see the actual plane from flight 1549, especially after seeing the movie . Definitely recommend checking it out.

Sneakin Deacon

Well worth a visit. the US Airways Flight 1549 A320 display is the centerpiece exhibit . Be Sure to watch the Flight 1549 video.

The museum has been collecting and restoring vintage historical aircraft for more than 20 years, and is the largest aviation museum between Washington, D.C., and Robbins, Ga.

Sean Wainwright

Definitely worth visiting and checking out the A320 from flight 1549 that Capt. Silly ditched in the Hudson.

Paul Kardous

Great museum with a substantially larger collection than you might expect. Check out the 1549 exhibit and the 727 cockpit.

Geoffrey Abucewicz

Well worth the visit especially the 1549 display. Very well done!

Krystie Diaz

Very nice, make sure to read the story surrounding the plane from the "Miracle on the Hudson"...a lot of that damage came from recovery.

Michael Palko

The exhibit on the Miracle on the Hudson is itself worth the price of admission. A must see!

Tony Shook

Great place with some old friends and the "Miracle on the Hudson airliner Captain Sullenberger put into the Hudson.

Ben Woff

Great museum . You'll be surprised at the quality of their collection. They're a Smithsonian affiliate.

After touring the museum , you can watch planes take off and land.

Check out the 1935 Douglas DC-3, one of the first affordable transport planes created!
