Western Museum of Flight

The YF-23 Prototype is certainly the highlight, but the museum has way more content than room to display it. Museum was $5 and an additional $5 to see the YF-23 and learn its story (It is kept elsewhere at the airport and someone will need to drive you there). A must for any air fan.

Western Museum of Flight

Want to walk up and touch a real stealth fighter? You can at the tiny Western Museum of Flight. In back, there are a dozen or so parked aircraft, mostly military such as F14, F18, A4 etc. and one of the two YF23A prototype stealth fighters. The museum itself is mostly a dusty clutter of old airplane parts -- more a restorer's workshop than a museum.
