The collection of aircraft is quite large and includes a variety of aircraft from around the world. Among the many aircraft on display are the B-17 Flying Fortress, SR-71C Blackbird, the venerable A-10 Thunderbolt II, and one of the first operational F-16 Fighting Falcon USAF 79-0388.

The aircraft are divided into five exhibits that focus on a specific era in the history of flight: the Beginnings, World War II, Dawn of the Jet Age, The Cold War, and Keeping the Peace.

These displays simultaneously tell the story of both aviation in general and the history of Hill AFB, giving visitors a unique perspective on the growth and evolution of Hill Airforce Base alongside developments in aircraft technology.

In the Center, visitors may learn about (and experiment with!) centrifugal force, angular momentum, gyroscopes, electricity, propulsion methods, aviation, and many others. Complete with totally hands-on activities, the Learning Center is a must for any age. The Center is also home to a large collection of flight simulators which anyone may try. The Learning Center is open to the public from 9:30-3:00 pm from Tuesday through Saturday, with an hour lunch break from 12:00-1:00 pm. Educators and those bringing groups may also call ahead to schedule a field trip or a tour, request a tour guide, or request a briefing before touring the museum on their own. The telephone number is (801) 777-6818.

Location
