Update: SOFIA is now on display! This Boeing 747SP flew for Pan Am, United, DLR (German Space Agency) and NASA. Not only is it a unique addition to the collection as one of the only SP variants on display, it also made scientific discoveries that no other instrument could. All this was made possible with its nearly 20-ton infrared telescope flying high above 99% of the infrared blocking atmosphere at 45,000 ft. Outtakes included. Video by Boneyard Safari.

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

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.
