Wings Over Miami

Wings Over Miami is an aviation museum that provides a unique place where visitors can immerse themselves in aviation history, see rare aircraft, and learn about the development of aviation in the United States.

The history and collection of Wings Over Miami

Many important aircraft are concentrated here, some of them were the first, others distinguished themselves in wars and historical events.

The Miami Aviation Museum can be called one of the best in the city, since its value and wealth in terms of the uniqueness of the collected exhibits is really amazing!

The Aviation Museum in Miami is not only a monument, but also a tribute to all aviators in the world. There is a lot of information about those who flew with the advent of the first aircraft. In 1986, old planes from the private homes of Kermit Wicks were added to the classic collection. This gesture has become a key factor in the development of the museum.

An honorable place is occupied by Russian developments, for example, the Yak-52 aircraft.

Reconstruction and new opening of Wings Over Miami was in 2001 (the museum was closed after 1992, when a hurricane destroyed most of the exhibits).

On the territory of a huge historical park housed old and modern aircraft. In the collection of 20 items dedicated to the Second World War, as well as the post-war years, there are ancient artifacts flying in Germany and Japan.

A separate area is occupied by combat aircraft, on which pilots served in Korea and Vietnam. Here you can see one of the first fighters, as well as huge bombers. The list of aircraft that are displayed in the museum in a restored form is really huge. Of course, the development of American aircraft construction is mainly presented here, but there are some models of other countries. You can see not only what was used before, but also modern fighters, military and civilian aircraft.
