Incredible collection of historic aircraft and memorabilia. The docents are veteran pilots who have "been there and done that" and their enthusiasm is infectious. Incredible experience.

Ft Rucker, recently renamed Ft Novosel, is the home of Army Aviation. This is Army Aviation's museum.It has a good showing of early military aviation starting with a Wright Brothers designed two seater to an SE5A from WW1. Unfortunately, there are no aircraft to show for the WW2 period when the Army Air Corps ruled the skies before the USAF came into being. Then, the museum focuses on the Vietnam War before ending with the recent wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. The full-scale dioramas are first rate.There is a nice gift shop with a lot of military aircraft prints for sale, apparel, kids toys and Army Aviation collectibles.

Being from a more liberal area, I was very disappointed that this is on a federal base. This is mostly because of the outdated way indigenous people are depicted and an image of a middle Eastern man in the night vision room.I understand these are from a 'different time' but also at least acknowledging that these are outdated would be something.The people were nice and tried to engage our Littles. My kids also liked being able.to go in the plane and see.the controls.

Too much trouble to gain access. Who's idea was it to locate in on base. Requiring a guest pass to get on base?

This place is absolutely amazing. I have been to this museum twice since 1995 and it’s truly a hidden gem. Located on base, it will require base access, but definitely worth stopping by and seeing the facility and aircraft. A few one off prototypes and even some historical birds present and on display. The R66 Comanche helicopter and super 68 helicopters are located here as well and can be viewed!Again can’t recommend enough and anyone visiting the Gulf Coast who is interested in air power and helicopters should definitely take the time to swing by and see what all is here to offer!

Incredible exhibits chronicle aircraft and people from the birth of aviation through the present day. Many unique fixed and rotor wing aircraft in interactive and static displays. Many stories of heroes from all wars that Aviation played a role in. Exhibits both indoors and out. Plan for 3 or more hours. Easy access and several restaurants right on base.

My husband and I traveled with my family to the U. S. Army Aviation Museum. The exhibits are outstanding in design with each exploring the history of Army Aviation. We couldn't leave without exploring the gift shop and purchasing a few items to commemorate our visit. We truly enjoyed this memorable experience. We are hopeful to visit the museum again soon.

Free is free. Has pretty neat stuff for adults and kids. Not very long, so expect to be done in 30-45 minutes.

The museum has a number of unique helicopter models that were great to see up close! If you're an aviation enthusiast, you won't be disappointed with a visit.

Great place to visit if you live in the wiregrass area. I’ve been since I was a little kid and each time I go I could easily kill an afternoon gawking at how man took to the skies. Only thing I’d dock a star for was the goofy Christmas decorations on the exhibits at the time of my visit. It makes it a little difficult to get decent photos of stuff, but that’s just personal preference. Admission is free. Good cheap fun.

It was awesome to stroll through the outdoors and look at the different kinds of aircraft. I was amazed at how large some of them were yet there were a couple so small. Each one serving a certain mission or a certain job. It was pretty cold to walk among them and looking at them so closely.

Great little museum to respect army aviation. Not huge, but free and in great shape. Definitely a must if in the area. Plenty of aircraft to look at
