The United States Army Aviation Museum is an aviation museum located on Fort Rucker near Daleville, Alabama. It has the largest collection of helicopters held by a museum in the world.[1][2] The museum features some 50 aircraft on public display with aviation artifacts ranging from a replica of the Wright brothers' Model B military biplane to an RAH-66 Comanche. The museum has over 160 aircraft in its collection and holds 3,000 historical items.[3]
History
The museum announced plans to raise money to build a new structure to replace the wooden buildings in which it was housed in 1977.[4]
The museum broke ground on a new building called the William A. Howell Training Support Facility in November 2019, which will not be open to the public.[5][6][7][8] The new building opened on 12 April 2024.[9]
