We as of late chose to visit the Lyon Air Museum in the wake of perusing that one of their planes will complete a fly-over at the primary Huntington Beach Air Show this month. You can't guess by the groups that the historical center has been open since 2009 - extremely void on an excellent Saturday evening. We strolled the insignificant strides from the vacant parking area to the front access to the beat of 40's-time music playing from open air speakers. In the wake of entering the front anteroom and paying our extra charge, we continued through the swinging doors into the exhibition hall. The Lyon Air Museum is the private accumulation of Major General William Lyon, an improved war veteran and effective Western U.S. realty mogul. On the off chance that you've invested any energy living or working in Orange County, there's a decent possibility you've been in a William Lyon developed building.

Eminent planes incorporate a B-25 Mitchell like the ones utilized in the well known Doolittle Raid over Tokyo and B-17 Flying Fortress that was utilized by General Dwight D. Eisenhower before he moved toward becoming President. The entire rear of the shelter opens to the runways of John Wayne Airport. We remained in the entryway and tuned in to their airport regulation feed while watching helicopters and traveler planes take off and arrive. A second story seeing deck traverses the whole front of the building and gives an ideal winged animals eye perspective of the whole gallery.

We went through around a hour to cover the exhibition hall without seeing the film however I can see investing more energy in case you're truly into military history or vintage vehicles.
