“The High and Mighty One” is first of two B-52s used as a mothership for the X-15 program. It 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 at 354,200 feet. That record-setting flight was the first internationally recognized spaceflight of a reused spacecraft. NB-52A is the oldest surviving Stratofortress and one of just three A models built. It was retired to Davis-Monthan AFB for storage in 1969, shortly after the X-15 program ended. The National Museum of the USAF decided to preserve this aircraft under the stewardship of Pima Air & Space Museum in 1981. Now it has an X-15 under its wing once again.

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.
