Honor the service and sacrifice of our nation's Airmen at Plane Talks on  May 17, September 18, and November 8, from 10:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.

This engaging program invites visitors to connect with veterans, active-duty personnel, and other experts stationed throughout the museum’s galleries. These subject matter experts—ranging from pilots and crew members to engineers and navigators—will share their personal experiences and insights, bringing the history of Air Force aircraft and exhibits to life.

Held several times a year, Plane Talks often coincides with significant military anniversaries, offering a deeper understanding of Air Force heritage. Don’t miss this opportunity to hear firsthand stories and explore the artifacts that shaped aviation history.
