Fascinated by flight? You’re in the right town
No understanding of Tucson is complete without a grasp of its proud aviation history.
At 80 acres, the Pima Air & Space Museum is one of the biggest aviation museums in the world. Among the planes housed there: the Bumble Bee, listed briefly in the Guinness Book of World Records as the world’s smallest piloted plane, a Boeing 787 Dreamliner, and the speedy SR-71A Blackbird, which has flown from Los Angeles to Washington, D.C., in 1 hour, 4 minutes. Open seven days a week from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. at 6000 E. Valencia Road.
