Aircraft Modelers Museum

Muncie Indiana is the home of the National Model Aviation Museum.  

It is located on a 1000 acre site where national competitions of model aircraft enthusiasts take place. When we were there the competition for precision aerobatics was taking underway.

The museum documents the entire history of model aircraft development over the decades.
