A 1927 Swallow, a 1931 Stearman Model 4D - just two aircraft on display inside the west wing.
The B-52 under restoration is a highlight of our ramp.
The importance of the Kansas Aviation Museum building to the glory days of Kansas aviation cannot be overstated. Its grand art-deco style appeals both to the aviation community and to anyone interested in historic preservation.
The Kansas Aviation Hall of Fame preserves the memory of extraordinary citizens of Kansas who have made contributions to aviation of statewide or national significance.
Dozens of talented, dedicated and highly skilled volunteers donate countless hours of their time restoring aircraft so they can take their place telling the story of Kansas aviation. Restoration projects range from the earliest production aircraft to the much revered Beechcraft Bonanza.
Our archives are a gold mine of aviation history for the United States and the world. We have original documents, photographs, negatives, drawings, periodicals and blueprints of many historic aircraft.

Kansas Aviation Museum > Events > Swinging Soiree
The Kansas Aviation Museum invites you to participate in our annual fundraiser, but instead of a stuffy dinner, we're throwing a 1920s party complete with gangsters and bootleggers!
• Wander through our transformed museum, where a hidden world of jazz, backrooms, and street games comes alive beneath our historic aircraft
• Sip on themed cocktails, enjoy bourbon tastings, pull a surprise bottle from the wine wall, or light up a cigar on the balcony
• Try your luck with street games like blackjack and mini bowling, and get a glimpse into your future with a fortune card reading
• Dress to impress for our Best Dressed contest, take vintage photo ops, and explore secret add-on experiences with fake money tickets
• Enjoy the smooth sounds of a live lounge singer and a full jazz band setting the tone for the evening
• Bid on one-of-a-kind items in our silent auction
• And for upgraded guests—our exclusive VIP Lounge features a classic car arrival experience, specialty cocktails and hors d’oeuvres, and a private, upscale retreat from the main party
Your night of glamour and intrigue supports the Kansas Aviation Museum’s mission to connect the past and future of aviation through STEM education, restoration, and community programming.
