Today we found ourselves at the
Western Museum of Flight in Torrence, CA. This museum is just off the active runway for the Torrence Airport so care is needed as you get to their location but walkways for your safety are provided. For our $5 donation we got full exploration of this very full but wonderful hanger. As we entered, one of the gentlemen informed us that what we saw on display in the museum was only 25% of what the museum has and would like to display. The museum is currently waiting on City approval for the zoning and building of a larger museum to properly house most of their collection.
Outside was an F-14 as well as the prototype of the F-18.
Inside we were treated to all kinds of aviation discovery inclusive of the ability to climb inside the cockpit of an F-5.
While the museum was smaller than some of the others we had attended, we found ourselves excited about the prospect for growth here. We surely hoped that they will have the ability to continually grow.
