The Aviation History & Technology Center

Cool little museum that I didn't expect to find. Almost like planes that were left in a parking lot, or old gate guards put together. The only C141B that you can get on the flight deck. The place looks like it has a lot potential and it will be interesting to see it grow, Atlanta needs a good airplane museum.

Wonderful place! I visited yesterday, after living in the area my whole life and not knowing this was here. It's tucked away on the Lockheed plant base. It's an open air museum, aka outdoors. There are currently 15 planes to view, each with a placard with information. The tours are self-guided unless you book as a group. There is one plane you can tour, the largest of the collection, and there is a guide on that plane to offer a lot of information as you make your way thru the cargo hold and into the cockpit. I learned a lot about not only the planes, but also the museum.
For everyone who gave bad reviews, I specifically made a cash donation on behalf of you and read your ridiculous reviews to the staff as I did. They enjoyed the laugh. Yes it's old planes - It's a museum. No they don't control the weather in an outdoor museum. Sure you can say it's an odd collection, as all the planes have been donated. Not exactly sure why someone would give a bad review stating the reason is because they aren't a fan of aviation - it's an aviation museum. For those leaving bad reviews due to the $5 admission donation, this is a volunteer organization with donated planes. They must pay for upkeep, restoration, and transportation to get the planes to the base. Not all can be flown, so they must pay for other transportation. They are currently working towards adding a museum indoor facility on site, so your admission fee goes toward that also. I definitely received more than $5 of information and thrill exploring these great aircraft and honoring those who flew them. I am appreciative of the veterans and volunteers who were on site yesterday to help me learn more. I will return and bring friends with me. This is a wonderful local treasure to share.

Small area of older military aircraft. Guides are excellent. We can sit in the cockpit of the ol C141 and touch the controls a little bit.

This outdoor museum is wonderful. I took my 86 year-old dad there and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Those that volunteer at this museum have years of experience in aviation and have experience in a variety of areas in aviation. They kindly took us around in a golf cart and showed us the planes, giving us insightful details about the planes. On 1 cargo plane you can go inside. My dad can walk up a few stairs but if you are unable to walk, you can still see inside the cargo area of the plane. If you can walk up the stairs, you can see and sit in the cockpit seats. This place is a hidden gem and I hope to take my dad again.

We had an awesome time here looking at the military planes. They had ~15 planes and other related things to look at. Everyone was super welcoming and knowledgeable about the planes and their history and we even got to explore inside one of them. My dad and I had a great time walking around and talking to the people here. Definitely worth a visit.
