In addition to a large number of well displayed aircraft there was a hand painted mural on the walls and floor that was superb and gave a great feeling to the exhibit. Interestingly enough there was also a well done temporary exhibit dealing with the life and skills of DaVinci.

| This was a pleasant surprise. It is a model of an aircraft my company builds and shows the paint graphics for which I was responsible. |

Neat museum, the restored airplane looks beautiful.
