Tom Wilkes of Guard-Lee, Inc. talks about the X-15 replica project as you watch it get loaded up to the NB-52’s pylon that actually carried the X-15 during the record setting program. These flights achieved Mach 6.72 (4,534 mph) and an altitude of 354,200 ft.

The NB-52A at Pima carried 93 of the 199 experimental free flights, including 7 of the 13 that earned their pilots astronaut wings by reaching sub-orbital space. NB-52A had the honor of birthing “Flight 91” when the X-15 achieved the highest altitude of the program. That record-setting flight was the first internationally recognized spaceflight of a reused spacecraft.

One of the largest non-government funded aviation & space museums in the world!

Featuring about 400 historic aircraft, from a Wright Flyer to a 787 Dreamliner. Sitting on 80 acres the museum opened its doors to the public in May of 1976. Over the past forty years, the museum has grown immensely and today encompasses six indoor exhibit hangars (three dedicated to WWII).

Accessibility

All of the museum buildings are accessible. The floors are poured cement. Accessible parking spaces (handicapped permit required) are located near the entrance to the museum. A paved walkway connects the Main Hangar, Hangar 3, 4 and 5 while the remainder of the outdoor acreage is generally hard-packed dirt. It can be difficult for a thin-wheeled vehicle to move easily in the areas with loose sand when viewing the 150 aircraft outdoors.

Pima Air & Space Museum does not have wheelchairs available.
