Aircraft Availability
At the Henry B. Tippie National Aviation Education Center, there is no such thing as a stationary airplane. Aircraft fly in and out of the Victor N. Agather hangar, giving tours and educating people across the country.
Our hangar is the home of the B-29 Superfortress FIFI and B-24 Liberator Diamond Lil. *Both aircraft call the NAEC home but are scheduled to go on tour for parts of the year. and will not be available in the hangar. For information on the B-29/B-24 Squadron and tour dates head over to their website HERE*
Several aircraft from around the country stop by to rest their wings in our hangar throughout the year!
Therefore, aircraft are not guaranteed to be on-site when you purchase your ticket for admission. If you, or a member of your party, are interested in the availability of a specific aircraft, we ask that you call or email ahead of time. For up-to-date information on aircraft schedules, subscribe to our email list below.
