Our Collection

The heart and soul of any good museum is its collection, and the EAA AirVenture Museum is no exception. Our collection of historic artifacts began in 1962 when Steve Wittman donated his famous air racer “Bonzo” and the EAA Air Museum was founded. Since then it has flowered into a magnificent assortment of over 20,000 historic aviation objects.

Flight Operations

The Museum maintains an extremely varied airworthy fleet – everything from a powered parachute to a B-17 Flying Fortress! Many are operated to give ordinary people the chance to fly in historic aircraft, others are used to provide flight demonstrations or support special activities such as the EAA Young Eagles program.
