Atwater, California - Castle Air Museum Castle Air Museum. [Matt Bearup, 02/16/2008][RA: Matt provided several aerial views he photographed of this collection assembled from a closed air base.]
Atwater, California - Castle Air Museum We took our two little girls and went to the Air Museum and had a blast. There are at least 30 planes to see. There is a restaurant on site that is a little pricey, but the food was good. You won't get to go inside any of the planes, but we found out that the week previously they had an open house and I guess the planes are open during that time. The Air Museum has an indoor museum also with lots of photos and memorabilia. [Stephanie, 02/24/2007]
